Nasdaq To Rally Around 13%? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Tuesday

Piper Sandler analyst Ryan Todd maintains Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $136 to $144.

Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on Phillips 66, Raises Price Target to $144

When Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) releases earnings results for its third quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PSX/earnings">on Tuesday, Oct. 29</a>, analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $2.1 per share. That&#8217;s down from $4.63 per share in the year-ago period. 
Phillips 66 projects to report revenue of $34.75 billion for the recent quarter, down from $40.32 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
With the recent buzz around Phillips 66, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. The company currently offers an annual dividend yield of 3.31% — a quarterly dividend of $1.15 per share ($4.60 a year).
Want to earn $500 monthly from Phillips 66? Start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, take that amount and divide it by Phillips 66's $4.60 dividend: $6,000 / $4.60 = 1,304 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $181,165 worth of Phillips 66, or 1,304 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $3.12 = 261 shares, or $36,261 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
Price Action: Shares of Phillips 66 gained by 3.3% to close at $138.93 on Thursday.
On Oct. 2, JPMorgan analyst John Royall maintained Phillips 66 with an Overweight rating and lowered the price target from $160 to $141.

<h3>Evaluating Phillips 66 P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 10.18 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Phillips 66 Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 11.14. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Phillips 66 Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727369112_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
