Analysis
ConocoPhillips explores for, (COP) currently trades at $116.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $91.79, implying the stock looks roughly 21.4% overvalued today. We read business quality at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, ConocoPhillips explores for, generated revenue of $59.4B at a net margin of 12.3%. Revenue declined 5.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.3%. Net debt stands at $16.9B. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $68.85 (bear case) to $114.74 (bull case); at $116.76, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 40% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -21%, COP screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($158.85) versus Earnings-Based ($35.08). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
