Revenue drop and asset sales amid steady dividends and fund inflows

ConocoPhillips has reported a decrease in Q4 2025 revenue to $1.4 billion from $2.3 billion a year earlier while continuing to streamline its portfolio through the sale of Permian Basin assets acquired from Concho Resources and Shell, with about $3 billion in asset sales closed for 2025 and $1.6 billion received in Q4. The company is also maintaining its quarterly dividend, with the most recent payout set at $0.84 per share, yielding 3.1% annually. Institutional investors such as Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co. Ltd. and Primecap Management Co. CA have increased their holdings in COP during the third quarter.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees a technically overextended structure for ConocoPhillips above all key moving averages. He notes ongoing asset sales and stagnating revenue, which may highlight internal pressures despite institutional inflows. Kharitonov points to divergence in intraday momentum signals and warns against overreliance on bullish sentiment. He remains cautious as fundamentals show stress beneath the strong technicals. "Any sharp reversal beneath $104.89 should not be underestimated, as downside risk may quickly reassert itself given weaker revenue trends."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the clear bullish structure supported by multiple institutional investments and proactive portfolio management. He believes recent asset sales strengthen ConocoPhillips' balance sheet and fuel further upside. Karapetjanc expects persistent momentum, with the $115 level offering a key breakout signal. "Bullish structure remains intact and further growth towards $119 appears highly probable in the current environment."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes robust intraday demand as COP trades near session highs. He sees short-term oscillators flashing caution, but believes price action favors bullish setups above $110 support. Turakhiya notes that the current volatility may provide tactical opportunities for momentum traders. "In the near term, I’d be watching for a confirmed breakout above $115 or a fade back towards dynamic support for a potential quick swing play."

Divergent momentum signals as intraday action favors buyers

Momentum indicators remain strong, with both MACD and ADX signaling bullish momentum. RSI (61.65) and CCI (52.34) reflect continued buying interest, though Stoch RSI on the daily shows oversold conditions, while BBP flags overbought intraday bias suggesting buyers are dominating. The Awesome Oscillator leans neutral but shows positive impulses on shorter timeframes, adding some support to the bullish trend. Today's price action shows a $2.25 gain (2.03%), opening higher than the previous close ($112.26 vs $110.70), indicating a gap up. Price is currently at the upper end of today’s range ($111.14–$112.95), reflecting strong intraday momentum and moderate volatility with strength toward session highs. Momentum and oscillator signals show some divergence, but overall intraday action confirms an underlying bullish tone.

Last time, analysts noted that ConocoPhillips shares were exhibiting strong bullish momentum, trading well above all major moving averages, with positive signals from MACD and ADX, and intraday resilience shown by elevated call option activity and supportive technical indicators. While the stock retained solid support levels near the Ichimoku Kijun and faced resistance around $115, some short-term oscillators signaled movement toward overbought territory without yet confirming excess, suggesting robust but closely watched upside momentum.
