At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $30.11 billion, reflecting a 11.41% fall from the equivalent quarter last year.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $6.23 per share and a revenue of $130.33 billion, demonstrating changes of +1.3% and -10.42%, respectively, from the preceding year.
Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Phillips 66. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-term stock moves. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
