Oil refiner Phillips 66 ( PSX - Snapshot Report ) has increased its quarterly common stock dividend by 25% to 25 cents per share. The new dividend will be paid on December 3, 2012 to shareholders of record as of October 15.
Phillips 66’s latest payout hike marks the first dividend increase since its formation in May 2012. The company paid a dividend of 20 cents during the previous quarter.
The strength of Phillips 66’s business model reflects the company’s commitment towards returning value to shareholders with its strong cash generation capabilities.
Phillips 66 has a good capital deployment policy through share repurchase and payment of dividends. During the second quarter of 2012, the company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program of $1.0 billion.
As on June 30, 2012, company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 billion.
We believe that the increase in dividend and share repurchase programs will boost investor confidence in the stock, thereby driving share value.
Recently, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P. ( KMP - Analyst Report ) inked a deal with Phillips 66 for the transportation of Eagle Ford crude and condensate to the latter’s Sweeny refinery in Brazoria County, Texas.
Phillips 66, an independent publicly traded company, was formed after the spin-off of the refining/sales business of ConocoPhillips ( COP - Analyst Report ) in May 2012. The move has resulted in the creation of the largest refining company in the U.S. (with a capacity of 2.4 million barrels per day) and the largest exploration and production player based on oil and gas reserves.
The new downstream company, Phillips 66, is headquartered in Houston, Texas. In addition to the refining, marketing and transportation businesses, Phillips 66 also includes most of the Midstream and Chemicals segments, as well as power generation and certain technology operations included in the Emerging Businesses segment, to create an integrated downstream company.
Phillips 66 currently retains a Zacks #1 Rank, which translates into a short-term Strong Buy rating.
