ConocoPhillips is heading into its third-quarter reporting date with a higher analyst earnings hurdle. The company is scheduled to release results before the US market opens on Thursday, November 5, according to Zacks Investment Research.
ConocoPhillips stock traded at 129.38 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:09 CET on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. That was 3.76 percent below the 134.44-euro quote cited in the latest relevant report published on November 2 at 15:48 CET. The real-time quote of ConocoPhillips stock is available here.
Estimates raise the reporting hurdle
Zacks expects third-quarter earnings of 2.97 US dollars per share, an 84.5 percent increase from the year-earlier period. Its revenue estimate stands at 18.2 billion US dollars, implying growth of 17.5 percent from the comparable quarter.
The research firm said average Cushing, Oklahoma, West Texas Intermediate spot prices rose to 80.46 US dollars per barrel in July, 83.90 US dollars in August and 97.31 US dollars in September. The corresponding year-earlier figures were 68.39, 64.86 and 63.96 US dollars, respectively.
Zacks said the stronger commodity backdrop was likely to have supported ConocoPhillips' exploration and production business during the September quarter. The reported production level, cost base and forward outlook will show how much of that support reached earnings and cash flow.
Results will test the oil-price benefit
ConocoPhillips had exceeded consensus earnings estimates in three of the previous four quarters and missed once, according to Zacks. The research firm cited an average surprise of 7.04 percent, a positive Earnings ESP of 4.50 percent and a Rank 1 assessment.
These indicators define the expectations ahead of the report rather than company guidance. Investors will also assess any comments on production, capital spending, costs and shareholder returns.
