How does the $2.0 billion Q2 2025 earnings compare to consensus analyst estimates?

Answer

The news release you provided states that ConocoPhillips reported second‑quarter 2025 earnings of $2.0 billion (or $1.56 per share). However, the release does not include any information about consensus analyst earnings estimates for Q2 2025—it only gives the company’s actual results.

Because the consensus analyst forecast is not mentioned in the excerpt, we cannot directly compare the $2.0 billion figure to what analysts were expecting. To assess whether the result was above, below, or in line with consensus expectations, you would need to locate the analyst estimate (e.g., from Bloomberg, FactSet, Thomson Reuters, or a similar source) and then compare it to the reported $2.0 billion.

What you can do next

  1. Check analyst consensus data – Look up the Q2 2025 earnings estimate for ConocoPhillips (ticker COP) on a financial data platform or in a research note that aggregates analyst forecasts.
  2. Calculate the variance – Subtract the consensus estimate from the actual $2.0 billion, then express the difference as a dollar amount and as a percentage of the estimate.
  3. Interpret the result –
    • If the actual earnings are higher than the consensus, the company beat expectations, which often leads to a positive market reaction.
    • If the actual earnings are lower, it missed expectations, potentially prompting a negative reaction.
    • If the figures are very close, the results are considered “in line” with expectations.

Bottom line: Based solely on the information you supplied, we cannot determine how the $2.0 billion Q2 2025 earnings compare to consensus analyst estimates. You’ll need to obtain the analyst forecast from an external source before making that comparison.
