Phillips 66 (ISIN US74460D1090) closed at USD 261.75 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 21, 2026, down 4.17 percent from the previous close. The retreat followed an intraday high of USD 277.12, while second-quarter adjusted EPS reached USD 9.41.

Record high meets sharp pullback

The September 21 session produced a wide gap between the day's high and the close: USD 277.12 versus USD 261.75. The stock's 52-week range extended from USD 126.74 to USD 277.12, placing the latest close USD 15.37 below the reported high.

Trading volume reached 10,170,068 shares on September 21, 2026, and market capitalization stood at USD 108.12 billion. The market reaction therefore came after a high-volume session rather than a low-liquidity move.

Second-quarter figures beat estimates

According to Ad-hoc-News on September 21, 2026, Phillips 66 generated USD 52.04 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EPS of USD 9.41 exceeded the cited consensus of USD 8.0855 by USD 1.3245, while the comparable prior-year EPS was USD 2.38.

The operating comparison was also substantial. Worldwide realized margins reached USD 24.08 per barrel in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 10.11 per barrel in the prior quarter, according to the cited September 21, 2026 market report. The margin figure gives the earnings beat a concrete operational explanation, but it also underlines the stock's exposure to refining conditions.

Analyst target stays below price

Raymond James analyst Justin Jenkins maintained an Outperform rating and raised the Phillips 66 price target to USD 235 from USD 218, according to ScanX on September 21, 2026. The revised target remained USD 26.75 below the September 21 close.

A broader market snapshot cited an average analyst price target of USD 241.56 and a Moderate Buy consensus, also below the USD 261.75 closing price. That spread makes the valuation gap an important counter-factor to the latest earnings strength.

October 28 brings next report

Phillips 66 is scheduled to report quarterly results on October 28, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance on September 21, 2026. The cited consensus calls for EPS of USD 10.21 and revenue of USD 36.91 billion for that release.

Phillips 66 closed at USD 261.75 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 21, 2026. Its market capitalization was USD 108.12 billion on the same date.
