Sees FY11 continuing operations EPS $3.59-$3.69 vs. consensus $3.75. The Q4 results were negatively impacted by weak margins on refined products, particularly for gasoline and petrochemical feedstocks. In addition, refining margins in Q4 were negatively impacted by reduced discounts for heavy sour feedstocks and the narrowing of prices for West Texas Intermediate versus Brent crude oils, resulting in higher-priced crude oils flowing through the system. The company will report complete Q4/FY11 earnings on Jan. 31. :theflyonthewall.com
