Did PSX Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Phillips 66 delivered a strong third-quarter 2025 beat, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.52 clearing the $2.14 consensus estimate by 17.55%, while revenue of $34.98 billion topped expectations by 7.78% — even as sales slipped 0.9% year over year. The standout driver behind the adjusted results was a combination of record operational execution and sharply improved refining margins: the company ran its refineries at 99% crude capacity utilization, the highest quarterly rate since 2018, while worldwide realized refining margins climbed to $12.15 per barrel. On a GAAP basis, however, earnings fell to just $0.32 per diluted share, weighed down by $948 million in impairments tied to the company's equity stake in WRB Refining LP ahead of its full acquisition, and $241 million in legal accruals. Midstream also set volume records in NGL fractionation and Y-grade pipeline throughput, underscoring why <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/02/18/marathon-petroleum-vs-phillips-66-which-refining-giant-wins-as-energy-sector-dominates-2026/">the competitive refining landscape</a> remains closely watched. Phillips 66 returned $751 million to shareholders during the quarter.
