Murphy Oil (MUR) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter 2021 financial results on Jan 27, before the opening bell. The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 83.61%, on average.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to reflect on the impending quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
The company’s efforts to improve production levels are likely to enhance the upcoming results. The new wells, brought online by Murphy Oil in the Eagle Ford during the fourth quarter, are expected to have boosted production. A substantial portion of the expected production is likely to have been generated from Murphy Oil’s Eagle Ford Shale and Gulf of Mexico assets.
Murphy Oil’s fourth-quarter results are likely to benefit from a recovery in commodity prices. The company's debt-reduction initiatives are expected to have lowered capital servicing expenses, thus boosting margins.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2021 sales is pegged at $600.8 million, indicating a surge of 81.9% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 49 cents per share, implying an improvement of 644.4% from the year-earlier reported number.
For fourth-quarter 2021, Murphy Oil expects net production to be 145.5-153.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD). The guidance includes a 4.5-MBOEPD impact of the Gulf of Mexico facility downtime for the quarter.
