Phillips 66 (PSX) scored on five pillars from its reported financial statements, and ranked against 87 Energy companies.
Phillips 66 (PSX) scores 5.3 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as mixed quality. The reading rests on solvency, and predictability is what holds it back.
One pillar, efficiency, is unscored because the filings behind it carry too little to judge. It is shown as a dash rather than a zero, and the overall score is the weighted average of what could be scored.

We cannot judge Phillips 66 yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

As of October 19, 2026, Phillips 66 scores 5.3 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Phillips 66’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Set against 87 Energy companies, Phillips 66 lands at the 55th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 5.9 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Phillips 66 in line with the median.
On profitability, Phillips 66 scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.5 across 84 Energy companies, which places it above them, at the 57th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency scores 7.5 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 79 Energy companies is 6.5, so Phillips 66 is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 59th percentile. Balance sheet strength like this rarely makes headlines, but it is what lets a company keep investing when credit gets expensive.
Growth scores 7.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 66 Energy companies is 5.2, so Phillips 66 is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 72nd percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency has no score for Phillips 66. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median efficiency score across 81 Energy companies is 5.5. Without it the overall cannot say how well reported profit turns into cash.
On predictability, Phillips 66 scores 0.5, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 3.1 across 86 Energy companies, which places it well below them, at the 7th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
The gap between Phillips 66’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 7.5 against predictability at 0.5, 7.0 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.
Of everything that could lift Phillips 66’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 3.1 median of Energy companies would take the overall from 5.3 to roughly 5.9. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 85 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
For a fair comparison, start with companies of a similar size: the Energy companies below are nearest to Phillips 66 by market value, each scored on the same pillars.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.

How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

On this reading Phillips 66 scores 5.3 out of 10, which reads as mixed quality. Its strongest pillar is solvency, its weakest is predictability. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.
Phillips 66 ranks at the 55th percentile of the 87 Energy companies Lemma publishes a score for. The median there is 5.0 and the top quarter starts at 5.9, against Phillips 66’s 5.3.
Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.
This page last changed on October 19, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for PSX are in the app.
No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
