ConocoPhillips reports stronger third-quarter results, with higher profit alongside an increase in its dividend. Multiple outlets say the improvement is linked to higher oil prices and that the company exceeds analysts’ expectations on earnings.
Quartz adds that ConocoPhillips’ adjusted earnings more than double, rising to $3.27 per share from $1.61, and that the quarterly dividend increases by 11%. Investing.com also frames the story around beating profit estimates.
The Globe and Mail links the company’s performance to broader policy developments, saying new energy policies could encourage expansion of its oil sands operations.
