Phillips 66 actively expands its revenue and maintains investment attractiveness. The firm constantly increases dividend payments to shareholders and uses the share repurchase program. Phillips 66 has raised the payment of quarterly dividends by 5% to $0.97 per share. In addition, the price-to-earnings ratio of its shares is relatively lower than that of other energy companies, which makes them cheaper. Phillips 66 strives to benefit from steadily rising global demand for fuel as well as oil and gas that is driving its sales and profits.
