Key Takeaways
COP will report 4Q25 results on Feb. 5, with EPS estimated at $1.08 and revenues at $14.05 billion.

Q4 EPS and revenues are expected to fall 45.5% and 4.7% y/y, respectively.
ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) set to report fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 5, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the large-cap upstream company’s adjusted earnings of $1.61 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.40 due to increased oil-equivalent production volumes.
The upstream player beat earnings estimates in the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 6.27%. This is depicted in the graph below.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.08 has witnessed no revision in the past seven days. The consensus estimate implies a decline of 45.5% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $14.05 billion indicates an 4.7% decrease from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider for COP
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the West Texas Intermediate spot price (in dollars per barrel) for October, November and December of 2025 was $60.89, $60.06 and $57.97, respectively, marking significant declines from the $71.99, $69.95 and $70.12 reported in the same period in 2024.
