Is Phillips 66 Stock Underperforming the Nasdaq?

Houston, Texas-based Phillips 66 (PSX) is a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company. It operates through Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing & Specialties segments. With a market cap of $55.2 billion, Phillips 66's operations span numerous countries across the Americas, Europe, and internationally.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” PSX fits the bill perfectly. Given the company’s extensive operations, its valuation above this mark is not surprising.

 

Phillips 66 touched its 52-week high of $143.25 on Nov. 14 and is currently trading 4.4% below that peak. Meanwhile, PSX stock prices have gained 3.1% over the past three months, lagging behind the Nasdaq Composite’s ($NASX7.7% surge during the same time frame.
