Read MoreHide Full Article

In that report, analysts expect Phillips 66 to post earnings of $3.71 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 181.06%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $35.08 billion, down 4.47% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $15.88 per share and revenue of $144.79 billion, which would represent changes of -15.49% and -17.59%, respectively, from the prior year.
