Analysts expressed views on ConocoPhillips&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41653155" rel="noreferrer noopener">mixed third-quarter results.</a>
On Thursday, ConocoPhillips reported an adjusted EPS of $1.78, beating estimates; revenue of $13.6 billion vs. $14 billion expected.
The company boosted its quarterly dividend by 34% to $0.78/share. The company raised the&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;for FY24 production to 1.94-1.95 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">MMBOED (from 1.93 to 1.94 MMBOED)</a>.
Truist Securities analyst Neal Dingmann expects pro forma FCF to rise substantially due to strong organic performance and additional cash flow from Marathon Oil. The analyst reiterated the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cop/analyst-ratings">Buy rating and $138 price target on COP.</a>
With stable prices, ConocoPhillips could potentially repurchase nearly all shares issued to MRO within 6-7 quarters, assuming the dividend remains steady and debt repayment is deprioritized, given the company&#8217;s strong balance sheet, adds the analyst.
The analyst says that ConocoPhillips&#8217; FCF is anticipated to be driven by a balanced portfolio, including Lower 48 activities, LNG projects, and Alaskan operations.
Dingmann revised EBITDAX estimates to $24.988 billion (from $24.719 billion) vs. consensus of $24.443 billion for 2024 and $33.208 billion (from $33.745 billion) vs. estimate of $27.939 billion for 2025.
Scotiabank analyst Paul Y.Cheng expects ConocoPhillips&#8217; (Sector Perform, $115 price target) third-quarter 2024 results to positively influence its near-term share price performance.
The analyst estimates adjusted EPS of $7.40 and EBITDA of $22.912 billion in 2024.

Risk aversion swept across markets on Thursday as investor disappointment over third-quarter tech earnings triggered the steepest drop in major U.S. indices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">in nearly two months.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) plummeted over 5% by midday trading in New York, on track for its worst session in two years.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also declined by over 4% despite a strong quarterly performance, as the social media giant projected &#8220;significant&#8221; capital expenditure growth next year, particularly for AI infrastructure.

In economic news, inflation sent mixed signals for September.

The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.4%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 slid 2.2%, both tracking their worst session since Sept. 6. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged 12%.
Risk aversion also weighed on commodities, with gold prices dropping 1.7%, marking their worst day since July, and silver plunging 3% after a 2% decline on Wednesday. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slid 2.4%, and crypto-related stocks suffered significant losses. Coinbase Global Inc.
