Despite a recent dip in earnings, ConocoPhillips reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenues of $14.2 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13.9 billion. However, the adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.02 fell short of the expected $1.08 and marked a decline from the previous year's EPS of $1.98. This earnings drop is attributed to lower average realized oil-equivalent prices, although increased production volumes provided some relief.

ConocoPhillips anticipates a production range of 2.33 to 2.36 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED) for 2026. The company plans to return approximately 45% of its operating cash flow, which could appeal to investors seeking returns. Despite the earnings shortfall, the company's revenue performance and production outlook suggest potential for future growth.
