Pre-Market Earnings Report for October 29, 2025 : CAT, BA, VZ, UBS, ADP, CVS, TEL, FI, AEP, PSX, GRMN, ETR

Shareholders of Phillips 66 (Symbol: PSX) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 3.6% annualized dividend yield can sell the March 2026 covered call at the $150 strike and collect the premium based on the $4.20 bid, which annualizes to an additional 8% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 11.6% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $150 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but PSX shares would have to advance 11.6% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 14.8% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Phillips 66, looking at the dividend history chart for PSX below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 3.6% annualized dividend yield.
Below is a chart showing PSX's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $150 strike highlighted in red:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the March 2026 covered call at the $150 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $150. (Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Phillips 66 (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $134.18) to be 36%.

In mid-afternoon trading on Tuesday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 761,960 contracts, with call volume at 2.05M, for a put:call ratio of 0.37 so far for the day. Compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65, that represents very high call volume relative to puts; in other words, buyers are preferring calls in options trading so far today.

YieldBoost PSX To 11.6% Using Options

The Oil/Energy sector faced a mixed bag of market dynamics in the third quarter of 2025. On one hand, crude oil prices saw a decline, weighed down by an oversupply and broader economic uncertainties. On the other hand, natural gas prices climbed, fueled by tighter supply conditions and geopolitical factors. This divergence has set the stage for a challenging earnings season, as energy companies navigate these shifting market forces.
As they prepare to share their third-quarter results, investors are keen to see how these companies are responding to the volatility — whether through measures like cost control, portfolio realignments, or a focus on seizing opportunities within the growing energy market.
Market Forces Diverge: Oil Drops, Natural Gas Rises in Q3 2025
During the third quarter of 2025, crude oil prices experienced a significant dip, with West Texas Intermediate averaging $65.74 per barrel, reflecting a 14% decrease from $76.24 in the same quarter of 2024. This downturn was largely the result of an oversupply in the market, as OPEC+ countries scaled back their earlier production cuts, contributing an additional 1.3 million barrels per day to the global oil supply. Other factors contributing to the price drop included intensifying trade disputes between the United States and China, renewed tariff threats on imports from India, and lower-than-expected industrial demand. Additionally, President Trump's policies to keep energy costs in check to curb inflation placed further pressure on oil prices. The International Energy Agency's revised global consumption forecast, which predicted slower growth, further exacerbated the bearish sentiment in the market.
In contrast, natural gas prices experienced a notable increase. The Henry Hub spot price averaged $3.03 per million British thermal units (“MMBtu”) in third-quarter 2025, marking a 44% rise from $2.11 per MMBtu during the same period in 2024. This surge was driven by a combination of tight supply conditions and robust demand. Geopolitical instability, particularly the Israel-Iran conflict, disrupted Middle East supply and reduced LNG exports. U.S. natural gas inventories remained below their typical five-year averages, and strong LNG exports to Europe and Asia helped maintain a tighter domestic supply. In addition, concerns over potential blockages in key shipping routes and the impact of tariffs on LNG equipment led to higher production costs, further bolstering the upward trend in natural gas prices during the quarter.
Q3 Earnings Snapshot: Energy Sector Drags on Market Performance
The Oil/Energy sector continues to trail the broader market this earnings season, struggling with profitability amid uncertain pricing and demand conditions. According to the latest Zacks Earnings Trends report, earnings for the third quarter are expected to drop 6.4% year over year. While this marks a recovery from the second quarter's 16.9% decline, it still falls far short of the S&P 500's robust 7.3% growth. Early results from the 12.5% of energy companies that have reported offer some insight. While 66.7% surpassed EPS forecasts and all of them exceeded revenue expectations, the sector as a whole is still struggling with weak revenue growth.
The sector's underperformance is weighing on the broader index. Excluding Energy, the S&P 500's earnings growth rises to 8%. The revenue picture is similarly weak, with a 1.0% decline for Energy contrasting sharply with the market's 6.7% gain.
This pressure is driven by a perfect storm of volatile commodity prices, fluctuating global demand, and squeezed margins. The contrast becomes even starker when compared to market leaders: while Energy contracts, sectors like Aerospace (+248.6%), Finance (+23.4%), and Technology (+11.5%) are posting explosive growth.
For investors, this divergence highlights the need for selectivity. The focus should be on companies that demonstrate superior operational efficiency, stringent cost control, and strategic positioning — particularly those with diversified portfolios or strengths in niches like natural gas — to navigate ongoing sector turbulence.

How Will These 5 Energy Stocks Perform This Earnings Season?

Key Points
Kinder Morgan's earnings growth rate has started to accelerate.
Its growth should continue picking up speed as it starts completing projects from its $9.3 billion backlog.
It sees the potential to secure over $10 billion of additional expansion projects.
It wasn't long ago that it appeared Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) would never grow again. The energy infrastructure giant's earnings were basically flat for several years after adjusting for asset sales and one-time items. Meanwhile, it had relatively few expansion projects in its backlog to fuel future growth.
However, thanks in part to surging gas demand from AI data centers and other catalysts, Kinder Morgan's expansion project backlog has ballooned from $1.4 billion at the end of 2021 to $9.3 billion. The company's growth engine could more than double in the coming years as it continues to capitalize on one of the best expansion opportunities in its history. That would give the pipeline company even more fuel to grow its 4.3%-yielding dividend.

Stomping on the accelerator
Kinder Morgan recently reported strong third-quarter results. The natural gas infrastructure giant generated nearly $2 billion of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). That's a 6% increase from the year-ago period, and a notable acceleration from prior years when its adjusted EBITDA had basically flattened out. Meanwhile, the company's adjusted earnings soared 16% to $0.29 per share.
Fueling the company's strong third-quarter showing was increased contributions from its natural gas pipelines, product pipelines, and terminals businesses:
The primary driver was the company's gas pipelines. Earnings from these assets jumped 10%, driven by higher contributions on its Texas Interstate system and Tennessee Gas Pipeline. Kinder Morgan also benefited from its acquisition of Outrigger Energy. Volumes rose 6%, fueled by deliveries to liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, new contracts, and expansion projects.
The fuel to grow through 2030
Kinder Morgan's gas pipeline business should continue to fuel its growth for years to come. The company ended the third quarter with $9.3 billion of expansion projects in its backlog. That was flat compared to the second quarter, as the company completed $500 million in growth projects while adding a similar amount of new expansions.
Natural gas represents the bulk of its expansion backlog (about $8.6 billion). The company has secured several natural gas pipeline projects, including Trident ($1.8 billion), South System Expansion 4 ($1.8 billion), and Mississippi Crossing ($1.7 billion). It has projects on track to enter commercial service through the second quarter of 2030. These projects will support growing gas demand from LNG terminals and power plants, notably those supplying electricity to energy-intensive AI data centers, as well as new manufacturing plants and other growth catalysts. This backlog provides the company with significant visibility into its future earnings growth.
More growth coming down the pipeline
"With historic growth in global natural gas demand, a favorable federal regulatory landscape, and strong support from permitting agencies, the outlook for our company is exceptionally promising," stated CEO Kim Dang in the third-quarter earnings press release. She noted that the company is "seeing an opportunity set more robust than at any time in the company's history."
LNG is one growth catalyst for the company. Kinder Morgan expects to deliver 12 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of gas to LNG terminals by 2028, up from 8 Bcf/d today. It's pursuing several additional opportunities to support LNG demand.
Additionally, the company is actively exploring more than 10 Bcf/d of opportunities to supply more gas to the U.S. power sector. Given AI's tremendous electricity needs, natural gas stands out as one of the fastest and most cost-effective sources to deliver the high levels of stable power this technology requires. Kinder Morgan estimates it could approve more than $10 billion in additional gas projects in the coming years.
Meanwhile, gas isn't the company's only growth driver. Kinder Morgan recently partnered with refining giant Phillips 66 to potentially build the Western Gateway Pipeline. The pipeline would ship refined products, such as gasoline, from Texas to Arizona and California. Pending approval, this pipeline could enter commercial service in 2029, further enhancing and diversifying Kinder Morgan's long-term growth outlook.
The fuel to produce high-octane total returns
Kinder Morgan is entering a period of accelerating earnings growth. It has already secured $9.3 billion of expansions that will start fueling faster earnings growth next year. Meanwhile, it has an even larger set of potential projects in the pipeline to further enhance and extend its growth outlook. The earnings growth from these projects will give Kinder Morgan more fuel to increase its high-yielding dividend, which it has done for eight straight years. That combination of income and growth could help power high-octane total returns for shareholders in the coming years, making Kinder Morgan a very compelling long-term investment opportunity right now.

The AI Boom Could Empower This 4.3%-Yielding Dividend Stock to Add Another $10 Billion in Fuel to Its Growth Engine

Phillips 66 PSX is set to report third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 29, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, its adjusted earnings of $2.38 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66, primarily attributed to increased refining volumes and higher realized refining margins worldwide.
Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, delivering an average surprise of roughly 19.2%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Phillips 66 Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Estimate Trend for PSX
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of $2.07 hasn’t witnessed any upward revisions in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 1.5% improvement from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $29.9 billion indicates a 17.3% decrease from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider for PSX
Per data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average spot prices for Cushing, OK, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for July, August and September were $68.39, $64.86 and $63.96 per barrel, respectively. However, the pricing environment was more favorable in the prior-year months, with average prices of $81.80, $76.68 and $70.24 per barrel, respectively.
The softer pricing environment is likely to have aided PSX, since it derives a significant proportion of its earnings from the refining business. From the midstream business, which is generally stable by its very nature, PSX is likely to have generated stable cash flows. Our model predicts a 5.1% year-over-year rise in pre-tax adjusted income from midstream.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not indicate an earnings beat for PSX this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is not the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: PSX has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Phillips 66 Set to Report Q3 Earnings: Here's What You Need to Know

In its upcoming report, Phillips 66 (PSX) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $2.07 per share, reflecting an increase of 1.5% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $29.92 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of 17.3%.
Over the last 30 days, there has been an upward revision of 20% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter, leading to its current level. This signifies the covering analysts' collective reconsideration of their initial forecasts over the course of this timeframe.
Prior to a company's earnings announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically use consensus earnings and revenue estimates as indicators of quarterly business performance, exploring analysts' projections for specific key metrics can offer valuable insights.
That said, let's delve into the average estimates of some Phillips 66 metrics that Wall Street analysts commonly model and monitor.
The consensus estimate for 'Sales and other operating revenues' stands at $31.24 billion. The estimate indicates a change of -12.1% from the prior-year quarter.
According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Equity in earnings of affiliates' should come in at $315.92 million. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -42.5%.
The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Revenues and Other Income- Other income' of $40.03 million. The estimate suggests a change of -52.4% year over year.

Phillips 66 (PSX) Q3 Earnings on the Horizon: Analysts' Insights on Key Performance Measures

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Thursday closed up +0.58%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.31%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.88%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ25) rose +0.58%, and December E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQZ25) rose up +0.90%.
Stock indexes settled higher on Thursday, led by strength in energy producers after WTI crude oil jumped more than +5% when the US blacklisted state-run Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC, Russia’s largest oil producers, which threatens to tighten global oil supplies. Also, Dow Inc. rose more than +12% after reporting stronger-than-expected Q3 adjusted operating Ebitda. In addition, Honeywell International rose by more than +6% after reporting better-than-expected Q3 sales.

Stocks also found support on Thursday’s US economic news that showed Sep existing home sales rose +1.5% m/m to a 7-month high of 4.06 million, right on expectations.
Stocks added to their gains Thursday afternoon as US-China trade tensions eased slightly when the White House confirmed that President Trump will meet directly with President Xi Jinping next Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea.
On the negative side, Molina Healthcare closed down more than -17% to lead health insurers lower after cutting its full-year adjusted EPS forecast. Also, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) closed down more than -8% after reporting weaker-than-expected Q1 preliminary sales.
Late Wednesday, the Trump administration announced sanctions on Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC, Russia’s biggest oil producers, due to “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine.” The new sanctions could bar foreign countries or companies from conducting business with the oil companies and cut them off from much of the international financial system.
The markets are focusing on progress in US-China trade talks, as President Trump reiterated his threat on Monday to boost tariffs on Chinese goods “if there isn’t a deal” by November 1. President Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in South Korea.
The US government shutdown continues into its fourth week, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown is delaying the release of government reports, including the last four weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims and the September payroll report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the September consumer price report, which was initially scheduled to be released last Wednesday, will be released this Friday. The White House has warned that if the government shutdown lingers, it would trigger widespread dismissals of employees in government programs that don’t align with President Trump’s priorities. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets this week will focus on earnings results as the Q3 earnings season continues. Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 85% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. Also, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 that have provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results are expected to beat analysts’ expectations, the highest in a year. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from 6.4% in Q2.
The markets are pricing in a 99% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Thursday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +0.52%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed up +0.22%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -1.35%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) on Thursday closed down -10 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +4.4 bp to 3.993%. T-notes were under pressure on Thursday amid inflation concerns, as a +5% surge in WTI crude oil prices boosted inflation expectations and pushed the 10-year breakeven inflation rate to a 1-week high of 2.31%. Also, Thursday’s rally in stocks curbed safe-haven demand for T-notes.
T-notes have ongoing support due to the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields moved higher on Thursday. The 10-year German bund yield rose +2.0 bp to 2.583%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose +0.6 bp to 4.423%.
The Eurozone Oct consumer confidence indicator survey unexpectedly rose +0.7 to an 8-month high of -14.2, stronger than expectations of a decline to -15.0.
Swaps are discounting a 1% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.

As a result, IonQ (IONQ), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), and Quantum Computing (QUBT) closed up more than +6%.
Molina Healthcare (MOH) closed down more than -17% to lead health insurers lower and losers in the S&P 500 after cutting its full-year adjusted EPS forecast to $14.00 from a previous estimate of $19.00, well below the consensus of $18.65. Also, Centene (CNC) closed down -5% and Oscar Health (OSCR) closed down more than -3%.

Stock losses accelerated Wednesday afternoon after Reuters reported that the Trump administration is considering broad restrictions on exports to China made with US software in retaliation for China’s latest round of rare earth export restrictions.
The markets are focusing on progress in US-China trade talks, as President Trump reiterated his threat on Monday to boost tariffs on Chinese goods “if there isn’t a deal” by November 1. President Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in South Korea.
US MBA mortgage applications fell -0.3% in the week ended October 17, with the purchase mortgage sub-index down -5.2% and the refinancing sub-index up +4.0%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage fell -5 bp to 6.37% from 6.42% in the prior week.
The shutdown of the US government continues into its fourth week, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown means delays in the release of government reports, including the last three weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims and the September payroll report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the September consumer price report, which was initially scheduled to be released last Wednesday, will be released this Friday. The White House has warned that if the government shutdown lingers, it would trigger widespread dismissals of employees in government programs that don’t align with President Trump’s priorities. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets this week will focus on earnings results as the Q3 earnings season continues. Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 85% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. Also, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 that have provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results are expected to beat analysts’ expectations, the highest in a year. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from 6.4% in Q2.
The markets are pricing in a 97% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets settled lower on Wednesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down -0.84%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed down -0.07%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -0.02%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) on Wednesday closed up +1.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield fell -1.4 bp to 3.949%. T-notes recovered from early losses on Wednesday and settled slightly higher. Wednesday’s slump in stocks, sparked by renewed China trade tensions, triggered short covering in T-notes and pushed prices higher. T-notes maintained modest gain on Wednesday due to strong demand for the Treasury’s $13 billion auction of 20-year T-bonds that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.73, better than the 10-auction average of 2.63.
T-notes have ongoing support due to the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields were mixed on Wednesday. The 10-year German bund yield rose +1.1 bp to 2.563%. The 10-year UK gilt yield dropped to a 6.5-month low of 4.369% and finished down -6.0 bp to 4.417%.
UK Sep CPI rose +3.8% y/y, unchanged from Aug and weaker than expectations of +4.0% y/y. Sep core CPI unexpectedly eased to +3.5% y/y from +3.6% y/y in Aug, weaker than expectations of +3.7% y/y.
ECB Vice President Guindos said, “The current ECB interest-rate level is adequate as the path forward for inflation looks positive,” and risks to the outlook for consumer-price growth are balanced.
Swaps are discounting a 2% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.
