Analysts expressed views on ConocoPhillips&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41653155" rel="noreferrer noopener">mixed third-quarter results.</a>
On Thursday, ConocoPhillips reported an adjusted EPS of $1.78, beating estimates; revenue of $13.6 billion vs. $14 billion expected.
The company boosted its quarterly dividend by 34% to $0.78/share. The company raised the&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;for FY24 production to 1.94-1.95 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">MMBOED (from 1.93 to 1.94 MMBOED)</a>.
Truist Securities analyst Neal Dingmann expects pro forma FCF to rise substantially due to strong organic performance and additional cash flow from Marathon Oil. The analyst reiterated the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cop/analyst-ratings">Buy rating and $138 price target on COP.</a>
With stable prices, ConocoPhillips could potentially repurchase nearly all shares issued to MRO within 6-7 quarters, assuming the dividend remains steady and debt repayment is deprioritized, given the company&#8217;s strong balance sheet, adds the analyst.
The analyst says that ConocoPhillips&#8217; FCF is anticipated to be driven by a balanced portfolio, including Lower 48 activities, LNG projects, and Alaskan operations.
Dingmann revised EBITDAX estimates to $24.988 billion (from $24.719 billion) vs. consensus of $24.443 billion for 2024 and $33.208 billion (from $33.745 billion) vs. estimate of $27.939 billion for 2025.
Scotiabank analyst Paul Y.Cheng expects ConocoPhillips&#8217; (Sector Perform, $115 price target) third-quarter 2024 results to positively influence its near-term share price performance.
The analyst estimates adjusted EPS of $7.40 and EBITDA of $22.912 billion in 2024.

Risk aversion swept across markets on Thursday as investor disappointment over third-quarter tech earnings triggered the steepest drop in major U.S. indices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">in nearly two months.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) plummeted over 5% by midday trading in New York, on track for its worst session in two years. Although the company surpassed earnings estimates, it forecasted slower growth in its Azure cloud business, dampening future revenue expectations.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also declined by over 4% despite a strong quarterly performance, as the social media giant projected &#8220;significant&#8221; capital expenditure growth next year, particularly for AI infrastructure.
The elite &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech group shed nearly $500 billion in market capitalization within a single day after reaching a record high of $16.8 trillion. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are set to report earnings after the market close.
In economic news, inflation sent mixed signals for September. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index slowed as expected to 2.1% annually, while the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the core PCE price index, remained at 2.7% year over year, slightly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41658542/fed-interest-rate-cuts-expected-but-economists-warn-of-bumpy-course-in-this-last-">above the expected 2.6%.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.4%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 slid 2.2%, both tracking their worst session since Sept. 6. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged 12%.
Risk aversion also weighed on commodities, with gold prices dropping 1.7%, marking their worst day since July, and silver plunging 3% after a 2% decline on Wednesday. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slid 2.4%, and crypto-related stocks suffered significant losses. Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) tumbled over 10% on disappointing earnings, eyeing its worst day since May.

Shares of energy stocks are trading lower as oil prices fall after Israel reportedly indicated it could target military sites in Iran but not oil or nuclear targets.

In a bid to control escalating gas prices, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has signed into law a bill that empowers his administration to regulate the state&#8217;s dwindling oil refineries. The move underscores California&#8217;s ongoing battle with affordability.
What Happened: Newsom approved the ABX 2 1 bill. The legislation mandates oil companies to prevent price surges due to maintenance issues and low supplies. The signing of the bill marks a decline in the political clout of Big Oil in California, a state actively transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/14/gavin-newsom-law-gas-prices-00183615">reported</a> Politico.
&#8220;They have been raking in unprecedented profits because they can,&#8221; said Newsom, according to the report. The governor said that the proposal was not about politics, but took the opportunity to take a potshot at Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. He said the industry was raising gas prices to &#8220;scare voters&#8221; into backing the ex-president.
Western States Petroleum Association CEO Cathy Reheis-Boyd said about the move by California, &#8220;For those ready to stop playing politics, we welcome the opportunity to address the real issues driving fuel prices higher for Californians and their families.&#8221;
Western States Petroleum Association includes companies such as ExxonMobil, Marathon Petroleum, and HFSinclair.

Set to come into effect in January, the law aims to curb price spikes that have seen the state&#8217;s average gas price exceed $6 per gallon in the past two years. It authorizes the California Energy Commission to require refiners to store more gas and share resupply plans with the state.
Why It Matters: The new law comes in the wake of rising concerns over gasoline prices in California. In September 2023, Tai Milder, the director of California&#8217;s Division of Petroleum Market Oversight, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34914870/california-faces-rising-gasoline-prices-division-of-petroleum-market-oversight-raises-concerns">expressed concerns</a> over some refineries&#8217; failure to maintain adequate gasoline levels or import enough fuel to compensate for production shortfalls.
Furthermore, the state has been taking legal action against major oil companies. Last year, California <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/09/34649658/california-sues-exxon-shell-and-bp-over-shameful-deception-sickens-you-to-your-core">initiated a lawsuit</a> against Exxon Mobil Corporation, Shell PLC, BP P.L.C., ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corporation, and the American Petroleum Institute. The state accused these companies of concealing the dangers of fossil fuels for decades, leading to significant climate change-related damages.

The outlook for oil demand growth appears promising despite economic uncertainties and worldwide supply deficit. Amid this, investing in quality oil stocks Enterprise Products Partners (EPD), Marathon Oil (MRO), and Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) could be ideal as global demand rebounds. Read more... Amid the concerning market conditions caused by the Middle East tensions, crude oil prices are projected to hike strongly in the coming period. This is due to the current supply deficit and increasing withdrawals from oil inventories, pushing prices to record levels and causing high volatility and uncertainties.
Given the industry tailwinds, it could be wise to buy fundamentally solid oil stocks Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/EPD/">EPD</a>), Marathon Oil Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MRO/">MRO</a>), and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAA/">PAA</a>) with high upside potential.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) maintained its bullish view on global oil demand growth in its recent <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/24/opec-is-bullish-on-long-term-oil-demand-growth-not-everyone-agrees.html">World Oil Outlook for 2024</a>, forecasting robust growth as far ahead as 2050. The oil producer group predicted strong energy demand growth of 24% globally between 2024 and 2050.
The organization also forecasted robust medium-term growth in oil demand, totaling over 112.3 million barrels per day in 2029, indicating an increase of 10.1 million barrels per day as compared to 2023.
This indication was further supported by predictions from the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-eia-lifts-oil-demand-forecast-says-prices-will-recover-above-80bbl-2024-09-10/">U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)</a> on global oil demand. According to EIA, demand will expand at a higher pace, reaching new record levels this year. The ongoing supply restraints will result in increased withdrawals of oil from global stockpiles, likely to further Brent crude prices back above $80 a barrel.
Besides, concerns over declines in oil inventories and OPEC+ members' decision to delay production increases until December 2024 are majorly affecting the market. The <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php">Brent spot price increased to $79/b on October 4</a>, reflecting a surge of 11% from a week earlier.
Given the industry's bright prospects, investing in fundamentally strong energy stocks EPD, MRO, and PAA could be wise.
