Experts have mixed views on Phillips 66 (PSX-N), reflecting a balance of caution and opportunity. One expert highlights a significant sell decision, indicating that while the refinery sector was an attractive investment in the past, there is a looming concern that the energy opportunity may pivot away from refiners by 2026. This suggests a long-term risk for investors in this stock. Conversely, another expert advocates for a buy at the current moment, signaling that low oil prices present a favorable buying position. This stark difference in perspectives points to a volatile landscape in the energy sector and suggests that while there may be short-term buying opportunities, the long-term outlook remains uncertain due to potential shifts in the market dynamics related to refining. Investors should weigh these insights carefully before making decisions.
They are the biggest independent refiner. They are doing some internal restricting to get down to only 30 percent refining. It’s a good opportunity to buy for the longer term.

Once again, differentials have widened. There’s been a turnaround in the refineries in the Gulf Coast, so they shut down, which causes a lot of oil to show up in inventories. A good time to play refineries on the East Coast because they can buy very discounted crude from the Bakken and make a really big profit. This is a very volatile stock and not to be owned for the long run. Over the next 12 months differentials will probably narrow because of 2 pipelines that are going to come on in the next 12 months and bring oil down to the Gulf Coast. Be careful.

(A Top Pick Sept 26/15. Up 2.91%.) This is a refiner, and they participate in oil strength. It is the kind of company that is not up as strong when oil prices go up, but also has not been down as much when prices are down. Has a very good franchise.
