Shares of the oil refiner witnessed a loss of 2.55% over the previous month, trailing the performance of the Oils-Energy sector with its gain of 0.43% and outperforming the S&P 500's loss of 5.73%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Phillips 66 in its forthcoming earnings report. In that report, analysts expect Phillips 66 to post earnings of $0.04 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 97.89%. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $30.28 billion, reflecting a 16.9% fall from the equivalent quarter last year.
PSX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $6.26 per share and revenue of $124.38 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +1.79% and -14.51%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Phillips 66 should also be noted by investors. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
