Is it a good time to buy Phillips 66 stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Is Phillips 66 under- or over-valued?

Valuing Phillips 66 stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Phillips 66's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Phillips 66's P/E ratio

Phillips 66's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Phillips 66 shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Phillips 66's PEG ratio

Phillips 66's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.731. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Phillips 66's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Phillips 66's EBITDA

Phillips 66's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$10.5 billion (£8.3 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Phillips 66's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Phillips 66 share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Phillips 66's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$88.0324 up to US$131.37. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

PSX.US volatility(beta: 1.35)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Phillips 66's is 1.348. This would suggest that Phillips 66's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Phillips 66 share dividends

25%

Dividend payout ratio: 25.13% of net profits

Recently Phillips 66 has paid out, on average, around 25.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Phillips 66 shareholders could enjoy a 3.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Phillips 66's case, that would currently equate to about $4.12 per share.

While Phillips 66's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Phillips 66 may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Phillips 66's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
