ConocoPhillips (COP) has been in the news recently due to a series of strategic movements, including their
accelerating capital returns and the upcoming acquisition of
Marathon Oil. The all-stock transaction is reported to cost approximately
$22.5 billion, making it one of the significant energy mergers to happen. Various companies, including Gilbert & Cook Inc and Clear Rock Advisors LLC, respond positively by increasing their COP shares post-announcement. The general market sentiment expects ConocoPhillips to experience
accretive financials and
enhanced performance following the Marathon acquisition. There are also increased expectations for COP's Q2 2025 earnings per share. Insiders suggest a 'hold' strategy, predicting potential gain post-earnings. In contrast, COP made a
minor gas discovery in Norway, and amid this strategic move, it is responding to the Coronavirus situation effectively.
