Ecopetrol stock (ISIN US2686481027) was last at USD 16.60 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 2.03 percent from the prior session. The move followed a company announcement that Colombia had paid Ecopetrol COP 573.108 billion from the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund, as StockTitan reported on October 1, 2026.

FEPC payment strengthens cash flow

The payment relates to receivables for the third and fourth quarters of 2025. Colombia's Resolution No. 2225 recognized COP 683.99 billion for Ecopetrol and Refineria de Cartagena, with Ecopetrol receiving the larger allocation through Treasury Bonds, according to StockTitan on October 1, 2026. The cash recovery matters because the company entered the second half of 2026 with a large government-linked receivable balance.

The latest reported quarter also delivered a sharp earnings comparison. In Q2/2026, revenue rose 35 percent year over year to COP 40.2 trillion, while net profit increased 235 percent to COP 6.06 trillion, The Rio Times reported on September 24, 2026. EBITDA reached COP 17.7 trillion, equal to a 44.0 percent margin.

Profit growth meets production pressure

The earnings mix remains important for investors. Q2/2026 production averaged 705,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day, down 6.6 percent year over year, while refining throughput rose 6.1 percent to 438,500 barrels per day, according to The Rio Times on September 18, 2026. Higher revenue and profit therefore arrived alongside weaker upstream volumes.

Analyst expectations remain more cautious than the latest earnings growth. MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026, that eight analysts assigned Ecopetrol an average Reduce rating, with one Sell rating and seven Hold ratings; the average 12-month price target was USD 13.54. That target is USD 3.06 below the October 2 last price of USD 16.60, according to MarketBeat.

Ecopetrol stock stays below yearly high

The NYSE price of USD 16.60 stood 9.7 percent below the 52-week high of USD 18.38 and well above the 52-week low of USD 8.57 on October 2, 2026. Market capitalization was USD 34.1 billion and volume reached 1,106,741 shares.
