Source: Annual filing · business description ↗2. What the reported results show
Latest source: 10-Q, reporting period ended 2026-06-30. Selected reported US-GAAP/USD comparisons. The period and basis of each measure are shown separately; year-to-date cash flow is not a quarterly figure. Missing comparisons are collection gaps, not evidence that a company has no revenue or earnings.
| Measure | Current | Prior year |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from customer contracts ↗Quarter: 2026-04-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-04-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Excludes assessed tax; this concept may exclude other company revenue. | $18,088m | $12,621m |
| Net income ↗Quarter: 2026-04-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-04-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. | $3,931m | $1,971m |
| Operating cash flow ↗Six months (year to date): 2026-01-01–2026-06-30; prior 2025-01-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Operating cash flow is not free cash flow or a standalone solvency assessment; inspect the full statement. | $11,729m | $9,600m |
Comparison caveat: Revenue shown covers customer contracts, not total sales and operating revenue. Physical and financial derivative contracts fall outside that customer-contract scope.

Latticework interpretation of the reported results—not the stated motives of any investor.
What could support the case
If its disciplined investment framework supports resilience through low commodity prices, ConocoPhillips could retain upside in higher-price periods, as management intends.
Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
Prolonged low commodity prices could materially hurt revenues, operating income, cash flows and liquidity, and may also affect dividends and the amount and timing of share repurchases.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
How much do commodity prices drive results?
Starting evidence: Prices for oil, gas, NGLs, LNG and bitumen can fluctuate widely due to factors beyond the company's control, so earnings may swing with them.
Investigate next: Review sensitivity of earnings and cash flow to price changes across several years and commodities in the full filings.
Read the supporting filing ↗Can reserves be replaced on acceptable terms?
Starting evidence: Production reduces remaining reserves, so unless resources are replaced through development or acquisitions, the business would decline.
Investigate next: Compare reserve replacement, project timelines and development spending against production, including long-lead projects.
Read the supporting filing ↗How exposed are Middle East operations?
Starting evidence: Middle East tensions may raise risks to regional operations, infrastructure and shipping routes, and the company has LNG investments in Qatar.
Investigate next: Examine disclosures on Qatar production constraints, project construction status, and any impairment assessments over time.
