ConocoPhillips (COP) has been a popular focus, experiencing a broad range of activity. Their shares are seeing fluctuations but demonstrating positive momentum, with entities like
Kerusso Capital Management and the
National Bank of Canada acquiring significant amounts. Their financial health also attracts attention, as they are judged to be using debt reasonably well.
Nelda J. Connors has been appointed to COP’s board of directors, enhancing their governance structure. ConocoPhillips' stocks have been recommended by financial expert
Ken Fisher. The most substantial development is COP’s planned acquisition of
Marathon Oil in a $22.5B transaction, positioning it as the third largest producer in the US Lower 48 according to Wood Mackenzie. This merger underwent intense scrutiny, receiving a second US FTC request, but eventually garnering approval from Marathon Oil shareholders. COP also challenges the Arctic drilling ban enforced by the Biden administration. Despite some declines, COP still outperforms the general market situation. Tensions exist surrounding the selling off their shares by prominent figures, like Director Timothy Leach. Going forward, COP plans to accelerate their capital returns, and those who invested five years ago have seen an impressive 152% return.
