Why ConocoPhillips Stock Zoomed Higher on Thursday

(NYSE: COP) stock closed Wednesday in positive territory. On the back of a solid quarterly earnings beat, investors pushed it to a 1.4% gain, good enough to top the 0.6% bump of the S 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC).

For its first quarter of this year, ConocoPhillips booked just over $17.1 billion in revenue, well up from the nearly $14.5 billion in the same period of 2024. Non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted net income also headed north, rising to just under $2.7 billion ($2.09 per share) from the year-ago profit of $2.4 billion.
