Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $107.01, moving +0.07% from the previous trading session. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.07%. At the same time, the Dow added 0.31%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 3.22%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the oil refiner had gained 2.89% over the past month. This has lagged the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 3.05% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.64% in that time.

In that report, analysts expect Phillips 66 to post earnings of $4.34 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 47.62%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $36.85 billion, up 9.77% from the year-ago period.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Phillips 66. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
