Phillips 66 misses first-quarter profit estimates on weaker margins
Refiner margins have scaled back from the peaks achieved after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, amid a rise in global refining capacity that has led to a drop in fuel prices. The company said its realized margins slumped about 47% to $10.91 per barrel in the first quarter from a year earlier, led by nearly a 50% decline in Gulf Coast margins. Shares of the refiner were down nearly 3% on Friday.
