This is another large-cap company that offers strong value for investors, and it reports earnings tomorrow. ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) explores for, produces, transports and markets crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, liquefied natural gas and natural gas liquids worldwide.

Conoco’s portfolio includes resource-rich North American tight oil and oil sands assets; lower-risk legacy assets in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia; various international developments; and an inventory of conventional and unconventional exploration prospects.

Many Wall Street analysts feel Conoco can accelerate growth from a reloaded portfolio depth in the Bakken and Eagle Ford, with visibility on future growth from a sizable position in the Permian. Goldman Sachs is very positive and said this when discussing the prospects for big oil:

While we expect upstream oil/gas producers to inflect positively quarter over quarter given stronger pricing realizations as commodity prices recover, we expect refining to act as a headwind and chemicals a tailwind to earnings/cash flow for more integrated companies.

ConocoPhillips stock investors receive a 3.03% dividend. Goldman Sachs has a $68 price target, but the consensus target is up at $74.95. The stock closed on Friday at $56.74.
