Winston Score History

The full picture

ConocoPhillips is one of the largest independent oil and natural gas companies in the world. It finds, extracts, and sells crude oil, natural gas, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Its customers are mostly refiners, utilities, and energy traders who turn those raw materials into fuel, electricity, and other products.

The company makes money by selling the oil and gas it produces, so its revenue rises and falls with commodity prices. ConocoPhillips operates across the United States, Canada, Norway, Australia, Qatar, and several other countries, giving it a geographically diverse production base. Its main competitive advantage is a large portfolio of low-cost assets, meaning it can still generate cash even when oil prices drop. The biggest risk the business faces is a sustained decline in global oil and gas prices, which would directly reduce revenue and profits regardless of how efficiently the company operates.

Revenue accelerating

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
