Recent press releases and 8-K filings for PSX.
- Phillips 66 aims to deliver durable through-cycle cash flow and a rateable dividend via its integrated downstream platform, targeting $4.5 billion of midstream EBITDA by late 2027 through organic projects (Dos Picos, Iron Mesa, Coastal Bend expansion) and contract escalations.
- Refining capacity remains structurally tight, with net additions of ~500 mbpd annually to the end of the decade against stable product demand, underpinning a constructive refining outlook and potential WCS heavy-crude differential widening into the teens over time.
- The company will recycle capital from non-core asset sales (e.g., European retail) and opportunistic M&A (e.g., WRB acquisition) to fund a low-$2 billion annual capex, $2 billion of dividends, $2 billion of buybacks, and reduce net debt from $21.8 billion to $17 billion by end-2027.
- CP Chem remains cash-generative in the current downturn and is about to start up two world-scale, low-cost ethylene assets, supporting strong long-term returns and premium valuation optionality.
- Phillips 66 will deliver durable through-cycle cash flow with a rateable dividend via integrated downstream operations (midstream, refining, marketing, chemicals) focused on safe, reliable, efficient hydrocarbon processing
- Management is monitoring the potential return of Venezuelan supply, noting Gulf Coast refineries’ capacity (~200 kbd) for Venezuelan crude and implications for Western Canadian Select differentials and NAFTA trade
- The company forecasts structurally tight refining capacity through the late 2020s, with net additions of ~500 kbd annually offset by ongoing rationalizations supporting margin capture
