ConocoPhillips - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy).

ConocoPhillips
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in ConocoPhillips for these reasons:

  • The company reported a revenue decline of 8.5% compared to the same quarter last year, which may raise concerns about its growth trajectory.
  • ConocoPhillips has a relatively high beta of 1.21, indicating that its stock price is more volatile than the market, which could pose risks for conservative investors.
  • Recent price target reductions by some analysts, such as UBS lowering their target from $153.00 to $140.00, may signal caution regarding the stock's near-term performance.
  • The stock's 12-month high of $135.18 suggests that it may be facing resistance at higher price levels, which could limit short-term gains.
  • With a current ratio of 1.30, while still above 1, it indicates that the company has just enough current assets to cover its current liabilities, which may not provide a strong cushion in times of financial stress.
