Did PSX Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Phillips 66 delivered a standout Q4 2025, posting adjusted earnings of $2.47 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $1.65, a 50.10% beat, while revenue of $36.33 billion ran 11.90% ahead of expectations and climbed 19.1% year over year. The outperformance was anchored by a sweeping portfolio transformation: the company completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in WRB Refining LP on October 1, gaining full ownership of two major refineries, while simultaneously selling a 65% interest in its Germany and Austria retail marketing business — a transaction that generated a $1.98 billion net gain in the quarter. Midstream was a particular bright spot, with NGL transportation and fractionation volumes each exceeding 1 million barrels per day. The refining segment also delivered record 88% clean product yield at 99% crude utilization. Looking ahead, management set a $2.40 billion capital budget for 2026, emphasizing debt reduction and shareholder returns — a disciplined posture that will be closely watched as <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/02/18/marathon-petroleum-vs-phillips-66-which-refining-giant-wins-as-energy-sector-dominates-2026/">investors weigh refining strategies</a> across the sector.
