Clearbridge Investments LLC has shown a strong commitment to
Phillips 66, by purchasing additional stock worth $4.48 million and thereby boosting their stake in the company. This supports Phillips 66's robust institutional backing, revealed to be as high as 77%. The company's assets continue to expand with the acquisition of lucrative areas of
Midland Basin and
Pinnacle Midstream, for a notable $550 million. Surprisingly, while these expansions occur, Phillips 66 plans to lay off 275 staff as part of a cost-cutting strategy. Despite missing Q1 2024 earning estimates, they have highlighted their strategic initiatives. Furthermore, Phillips 66 failed to accelerate their returns. Yet, longer-term gains have been beneficial for their institutional investors. Current market trends show a 5.2% pullback, however, it doesn't impact the long-term shareholders significantly as they are still up by 89%. Phillips 66 continues its growth by buying all public DCP Midstream units. The status of being a work in progress conveys the company's constant evolution. The fact that the company plans to expand renewable fuel production indicates an effort for sustainable growth. Phillips 66's stock has seen a remarkable rally growing by 4.4% in the last week alone. Finally, despite a $3.69 per share for Q3 2024 earnings, they still seem undervalued in the market.
