Read MoreHide Full Article

CNX Resources Corporation (CNX - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2020 earnings on Jul 30, before the market opens. This exploration and production company delivered an earnings surprise of 72.7% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

The novel coronavirus-induced economic crisis is expected to have impacted its operations in the second quarter. Nonetheless, CNX Resources — through production optimization and cost management — is likely to have offset some of the negatives. CNX Resources hedged a substantial portion of second-quarter natural gas production, which is expected to have protected the company from price fluctuation.

It repurchased $79 million worth of notes in the first quarter, which is expected to have reduced interest expenses in the second quarter.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter total gas sales volume is pegged at 113 billion cubic feet equivalent, indicating a year-over-year decline of 16.3%.
