    BP and ConocoPhillips Project Major Q3 EPS Expansions Across Upstream Operations

    Question

    BP and ConocoPhillips Project Major Q3 EPS Expansions Across Upstream Operations

    Direct answer

    Integrated energy majors and upstream producers are outperforming broader equities as Q3 earnings approaches. BP closed up 1.04% at $46.73 with consensus Q3 EPS projected at $1.91, up 124.71% YoY, and full-year earnings projected at $7.28 per share, representing a 152.78% annual increase. ConocoPhillips closed up 2.58% at $137.56, supported by expected Q3 EPS growth of 67.08% YoY to $2.69 and projected quarterly revenue of $17.47 billion. Low valuation multiples (BP forward P/E of 6.35, COP at 12.38) provide margin of safety amid broader market multiple compression. — bullish pressure on BP.
