Is Phillips 66 under- or over-valued?
Valuing Phillips 66 stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Phillips 66's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Phillips 66's P/E ratio
Phillips 66's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 92x. In other words, Phillips 66 shares trade at around 92x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Phillips 66's PEG ratio
Phillips 66's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7658. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Phillips 66's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Phillips 66's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Phillips 66's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 10.5 million Phillips 66 shares held short by investors – that's known as Phillips 66's "short interest". This figure is 11.6% up from 9.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Phillips 66 shares can be evaluated.
Phillips 66's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Phillips 66's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Phillips 66 shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Phillips 66 shares traded daily (recently around 3.5 million). Phillips 66's SIR currently stands at 2.99. In other words for every 100,000 Phillips 66 shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2990 shares are currently held short.
However Phillips 66's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Phillips 66 shares, or, against the total number of tradable Phillips 66 shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Phillips 66's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Phillips 66 shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0242% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Phillips 66 shares, roughly 24 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Phillips 66.

Phillips 66 share dividends

Recently Phillips 66 has paid out, on average, around 198.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Phillips 66 shareholders could enjoy a 4.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Phillips 66's case, that would currently equate to about $3.6 per share.
Phillips 66's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

This would suggest that Phillips 66's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
