Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) is expected to report second-quarter 2018 results on Jul 27, before market opens.
The leading refining player has an impressive earnings surprise history. Phillips 66 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average positive earnings surprise being 12%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Let’s look at the estimate revisions to get a clear picture of what analysts are thinking about the company before earnings release.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15 for the second quarter has seen two upward and no downward revision by firms in the last seven days. The figure reflects year-over-year growth of 97.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $29,404 million for the impending quarter, indicating a rise of 19.6% year over year.
Factors Likely to Influence Q2 Earnings
Phillips 66 is the leading player in its operations that include refining, chemicals and midstream in terms of size, efficiency as well as strengths. The company is on track to enhance its potential in every business segment by streamlining portfolio of assets and investing in growth developments.
However, since 2014, there has been considerable rise in long-term debt with little sign of decline, which indicates the company’s weak balance sheet.
Q2 Price Performance
During the quarter, Phillips 66’s shares have outperformed the industry. The company’s shares gained 17.1% compared with the industry’s 13.9% rise.
