Phillips 66
This extremely diversified energy company has a long and successful operating history, and shares have backed up nicely. Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) operates through four segments: Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties. The company holds many of these assets within its MLP, Phillips 66 Partners.
The company benefits from the tax-advantaged structure while still operating a more diversified operating business that also contains many assets that are not ideal MLP assets, such as its fast-growing chemical manufacturing business and its super-profitable refined products marketing business.
Phillips 66 remains a top refining idea across Wall Street, where many continue to see headroom for incremental capital returns. Most analysts are very constructive on a positive rate of change at Refining in 2022 at the company. In addition, they continue to see attractive nonefining value in the other segments.
Investors receive a 4.82% dividend. The Phillips 66 price target at Wells Fargo is $127, well above the $115.39 consensus target. Shares closed at $80.51 on Tuesday.
