ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) shares fell 3.1% to $88.54 Monday afternoon as crude oil prices declined following OPEC+'s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">announcement</a> to boost oil production. 
What To Know: West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures dropped around 2% after the group said it would increase output by 411,000 barrels per day in June, marking the third consecutive monthly hike. 
In total, OPEC+ will have added 960,000 barrels per day over April through June, reversing nearly half of the voluntary cuts made since 2022.
Saudi Arabia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">led the push</a> for higher output to discipline overproducing members like Iraq and Kazakhstan and to reclaim market share.

The supply boost pressured oil prices despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and signs of improving trade relations between the U.S. and China. WTI crude hovered below $57 per barrel—well under the $65 level many U.S. producers need to remain profitable.
ConocoPhillips, heavily tied to oil price movements, felt the impact as investor sentiment soured across the energy sector. The decline also comes ahead of the company's first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COP/earnings">earnings</a> report on Thursday, where it's expected to post earnings of $2.07 per share on $15.82 billion in revenue.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy COP Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for ConocoPhillips &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of ConocoPhillips, which is trading at $88.82 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.13 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, COP has a 52-week high of $125.22 and a 52-week low of $79.88.

ConocoPhillips (COP) Stock Falls on OPEC+ Supply Hike, Lower Oil Prices

WIIM

Shares of energy stocks are trading lower amid a drop in the price of oil. Oil fell on reports suggesting OPEC+ agreed to production increases in June.

Investors are turning to dividend stocks to guard their portfolios against market volatility amid trade wars and recession risks. Data from <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-sp500-dividend-aristocrats.pdf">S&amp;P Global </a>shows that from Dec. 29, 1989, through the end of February, the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in 66.67% of the months when the broader index posted a loss.
A few days ago, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jxqcdg/finally_reached_1m_4km_income_update_on_the_story/">shared</a> his income report and investing journey on r/Dividends, a Reddit community with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor on the social platform showed his monthly dividend income was roughly $3,960. The investor, around 40, said he started investing at the age of 20.

The investor said while it's difficult to see his portfolio suffering declines amid the current market environment, he's playing the "long game" and believes stocks will eventually go in a positive territory.&nbsp;

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher as the price of oil rises. Oil has gained amid overall market strength following US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's reported remarks about trade de-escalation with China. Recent Iran sanctions may also be driving supply uncertainty.

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) has outperformed the market over the past 5 years by 6.32% on an annualized basis producing an average annual return of 19.15%. Currently, ConocoPhillips has a market capitalization of $112.80 billion. 
Buying $100 In COP: If an investor had bought $100 of COP stock 5 years ago, it would be worth $247.24 today based on a price of $89.23 for COP at the time of writing.

$100 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

ConocoPhillips's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) short percent of float has risen 22.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.36 million shares sold short, which is 1.53% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.66 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>ConocoPhillips Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745254830_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ConocoPhillips has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing ConocoPhillips's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ConocoPhillips's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.48%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is ConocoPhillips Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Shares of energy stocks are up as oil prices rise amid US sanctions on Iran.

U.S. major indices traded lower at midday Wednesday, pressured by sharp declines in tech and semiconductor stocks after Washington tightened chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">export restrictions to China.</a>
The U.S. government has barred Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) from selling its H20 chips to China — a move that could wipe out an estimated $5.5 billion from the company's projected quarterly revenue. Nvidia shares slid nearly 7%.
Other chipmakers also felt the heat. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 6% as its MI308 chips fall under the new licensing requirements.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sank 3.4%, extending the sector&#8217;s losses. Adding to the drag, Dutch chip equipment giant ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) missed quarterly revenue estimates, sending its shares down 5%.
On the macro front, March retail sales surprised to the upside, rising 1.4% month-over-month — topping forecasts of 1.3% and marking the strongest monthly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44837237/march-retail-sales-post-highest-surge-in-over-two-years-as-us-consumers-anticipate-tariff-jitters">gain since January 2023.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw renewed selling pressure, with the dollar index dipping back below 100. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield holding steady near 4.33%.
Gold continued its stellar run, surging 2.5% to a fresh record high of $3,320 per ounce as demand for safe-haven assets remains robust.
In commodities, oil prices rebounded sharply, with WTI crude climbing 2% to $62 a barrel. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also edged up 1.3% to around $84,500.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago later this afternoon.

Nvidia Drags Wall Street Down, Gold Defies Gravity Ahead Of Powell Remarks: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Deep-pocketed investors have adopted a bearish approach towards ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), and it's something market players shouldn't ignore. Our tracking of public options records at Benzinga unveiled this significant move today. The identity of these investors remains unknown, but such a substantial move in COP usually suggests something big is about to happen.
We gleaned this information from our observations today when Benzinga's options scanner highlighted 11 extraordinary options activities for ConocoPhillips. This level of activity is out of the ordinary.
The general mood among these heavyweight investors is divided, with 36% leaning bullish and 54% bearish. Among these notable options, 6 are puts, totaling $959,100, and 5 are calls, amounting to $252,000.
<h3>What's The Price Target?</h3>

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on ConocoPhillips, Lowers Price Target to $116

Brent crude prices rose over the $65-per-barrel level on Monday before retreating slightly, supported by changing geopolitical currents and guarded optimism in the equity markets. The rally in Brent crude, triggered by renewed US-Iran diplomacy and a partial lull in trade war hostilities, brought <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy-themed ETFs</a> back into focus, despite lingering concerns about oversupply and weakening global demand.

Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)
The broadest energy equity benchmark in the U.S., XLE, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">picked up steam as oil rose</a>. With heavyweights like ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) in its portfolio, the fund reflects crude benchmarks. Its exposure to oil majors with strong dividend yields also makes it a popular bet during periods of geopolitical realignment — such as the Oman negotiations that could remake Gulf oil diplomacy.
iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>)
IEO targets exploration and production companies — the most oil-price-sensitive sub-sector. The slight rebound in Brent, driven by the White House&#8217;s brief reprieve from tariffs on technology products and optimism for resumed Middle East diplomacy, has lent new life to small- and mid-cap E&amp;P stocks. ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) is one of its top holdings. However, the rally might be fleeting, with OPEC lowering its growth and lowering demand projections for oil consumption. Reuters reported that OPEC has lowered its world economic growth forecast this year to 3.0% from 3.1% and cut next year&#8217;s to 3.1% from 3.2%. 
SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Equipment &amp; Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XES#NYSE">XES</a>)
Oilfield service companies, like those held in XES, are often the last to reap the benefits of higher prices because of capital spending cycles. The shock OPEC+ cut to accelerate output recovery might trigger upstream activity, indirectly benefiting service providers like Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDW#NYSE">TDW</a>) and Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>), one of this fund&#8217;s top holdings.
A Diplomatic Thaw
The weekend witnessed a thaw in US-Iran<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-steady-trump-tariff-reprieve-223603774.html"> relations as senior officials</a> from both countries held talks in Oman — the first senior-level meeting since 2022. While information is still limited, the tone of the conversation was said to be &#8220;constructive,&#8221; hinting at a possible blueprint to restart stalled talks on Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program. The two sides committed to another meeting, injecting new optimism into a region long influenced by volatility and oil market instability.
Though a long-term deal is far from certain, even the potential for diplomatic breakthrough has moderated concerns about supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil flows. Meanwhile, it also raised questions about whether Iranian crude oil might return to the market in significant quantities, making an already tenuous supply-demand balance even more complicated.
The Bigger Picture
The oil price rally, though propelled by newsworthy catalysts such as tariff delays and diplomatic talks, is confronted with structural headwinds. Nevertheless, ETF investors seem to be content to ride the volatility, particularly with equities mounting a parallel rebound and safe-haven assets lagging.
Investors are now focusing keenly on rig count trends and Q2 CapEx releases to assess the real-world effect of the Brent bounce. According to recent data by the Energy Information Administration, Baker Hughes found that for the week ending April 1, the natural gas rig count dropped to 96 rigs from 103 rigs in the prior week. Typically, lower rigs mean tightened supply, which in turn means upward pressure on oil prices.
On the other hand, banks slashed their price forecasts, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. now seeing Brent at $66 this year and Goldman Sachs expecting an average of $63, as the crude market continues to be poised to encounter substantial surpluses.
While the geopolitical board game is still unfolding, energy ETFs are an on-again, off-again — albeit volatile — strategy on oil&#8217;s journey through 2025.

JPMorgan's Arun Jayaram isn't sitting on the fence regarding oil giants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">jockeying for investor attention</a>. He's got a clear favorite, and it's not Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>).
Jayaram remains bullish on ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), rating it Overweight with a $113 price target. This implies a 31% upside from its April 11 close of $86.39. 
He's sticking with a Neutral rating on Occidental Petroleum, despite a $52 target that still suggests a 38% upside from its $37.67 mark. But make no mistake — this isn't a tie.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ConocoPhillips: The Strategist's Pick</h2>
Since its 2016 strategy overhaul, ConocoPhillips has been a poster child for disciplined portfolio management. Jayaram credits the company's counter-cyclical dealmaking for sharpening its cost structure and boosting inventory resilience, especially in the Lower 48. 
He also highlights its exposure to LNG and ability to keep capital costs in check — traits that help it stand out in a sector known for overspending.
Even though the Marathon Oil (MRO) merger has drawn some skepticism from investors worried about inventory dilution, Jayaram argues ConocoPhillips's long-cycle investments and $6 billion buyback plan in 2025 keep it in elite company. 
He sees ConocoPhillips as a core E&amp;P holding with a cash-return mindset that rivals should envy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Occidental Petroleum: Debt-Heavy and Waiting on the Payoff</h2>
Occidental Petroleum, on the other hand, still feels the weight of its past. While the company has made strides in deleveraging after the Anadarko acquisition, Jayaram is cautious on its next act: digesting the $12 billion CrownRock deal, which leaned heavily on debt. With share buybacks shelved and asset sales not yet factored into JPMorgan's model, Jayaram doesn't see Occidental hitting its debt-reduction target until 2027.
While there's an upside to the stock — more than 38% if it reaches Jayaram's $52 target — the risk-reward skew isn't as attractive when compared to ConocoPhillips. He flags Occidental's above-average leverage and subpar capital returns versus peers at current strip pricing as reasons to stay neutral.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
If this were a heavyweight bout, Jayaram has ConocoPhillips winning by unanimous decision. While both stocks offer meaningful upside, ConocoPhillips&#8217;s lower capital requirements, superior cash return plan, and savvy portfolio management give it the edge in JPMorgan's playbook.
As Jayaram puts it, ConocoPhillips's not just riding the oil wave &#8211; it's shaping the tide. Occidental, meanwhile, is still working through the swells.

ConocoPhillips Vs. Occidental: Both Ride The Oil Wave, Only One Is Shaping The Tide

President Donald Trump's tariffs against America's trading partners and the subsequent retaliatory measures from China and Europe resulted in major losses for investors across the globe, with no end to volatility in sight. Trade tensions may ease amid expected deals between key countries, but prudent investors are rethinking their long-term strategies.
Dividend stocks have gained significance in this period of market turbulence because of their strong history. A March <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-sp500-dividend-aristocrats.pdf">report</a> from S&amp;P Global showed that dividends have accounted for about 31% of the total S&amp;P 500 returns since 1926.

A few weeks ago, a dividend investor<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jic07f/retired_in_2021/"> shared</a> his income report and portfolio details on r/Dividends — a Reddit community with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor showed he was making about $9,250 per month, or $111,100 annually, in dividends. His total portfolio yield was about 2.3%.&nbsp;
"Dividends and interest cover 60% of expenses. Decent growth without huge volatility," he said.
The investor, 58, said he was a software engineer in Silicon Valley and retired in 2021. He said his goal is to cover his expenses of $15,000 per month with dividends by 2030.&nbsp;
"YOLO'd tech stocks in my IRA," the investor said, referring to the social media slang for taking a bold, high-risk approach.

Shares of companies in the broader energy sector are trading higher as oil and natural gas rise. Energy has been volatile as investors assess tariff developments and recent OPEC+ actions.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>) is trading lower by 6.91% to $76.67 during Thursday&#8217;s session, as investors stepped back from Wednesday's risk-on rally and locked in profits, even as new inflation data came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">cooler than expected</a>.
What To Know: After surging around 10% following President Donald Trump's surprise 90-day pause on additional tariffs for non-retaliating countries, XLE fell around 5.9% Thursday morning, mirroring a broader market cooldown.
XLE is a sector-focused exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of U.S. energy companies within the S&amp;P 500. Its top holdings include Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)—firms highly sensitive to commodity pricing, global demand expectations and geopolitical developments.

What Else: Despite the pullback, Thursday's macroeconomic backdrop was supportive. U.S. consumer prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">unexpectedly declined in March</a>, with headline inflation falling to 2.4% year-over-year and core inflation easing to 2.8%, both below forecasts. 
The CPI even contracted 0.1% month-over-month, the lowest reading since May 2020, suggesting that tariff-related price pressures may be easing rather than accelerating.
However, energy markets faced mixed signals. A sharp 6.3% drop in gasoline prices weighed on the sector outlook, despite increased investor confidence in global trade stability following the tariff reprieve.
XLE's pullback Thursday also likely reflects a combination of profit taking and caution in a sector still tethered to volatile global dynamics, including Chinese demand, OPEC policy and currency fluctuations.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XLE has a 52-week high of $98.97 and a 52-week low of $74.49.
