Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) closed at $84.33 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.56% move from the prior day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.53%. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 1.04%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.67%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from PSX as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of -$0.20, down 106.62% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $14.50 billion, down 49.16% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.17 per share and revenue of $77.02 billion, which would represent changes of -73.04% and -29.7%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for PSX should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 5.79% lower. PSX is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Investors should also note PSX's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 39.48. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 23.05, which means PSX is trading at a premium to the group.
Meanwhile, PSX's PEG ratio is currently 7.56. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. The Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 7.56 as of yesterday's close.
The Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing industry is part of the Oils-Energy sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 90, putting it in the top 36% of all 250+ industries.
