Energy Transfer (ET) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Energy Transfer LP (ET - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 16, after the market closes. In the last reported quarter, this oil and gas midstream firm delivered a negative surprise of 20%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note
Energy Transfer’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from the closure of the previously announced acquisition of Enable Midstream on Dec 2, 2021. This acquisition added significant fee-based cash flows from fixed-fee contracts during the fourth quarter.
Fee-based contracts of Energy Transfer, whose pipelines are spread across every major production basin, with drillers and an increase in hydrocarbon production must have boosted the demand for midstream services and thereby earnings.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 26 cents per unit and $19.74 billion, respectively. Revenue and earnings per share estimates indicate an increase of 96.8% and 36.8%, respectively, from the year-ago reported figure.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model doesn’t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Energy Transfer this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is not the case here as you see below.
Here are a few companies worth considering from the same sector that have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings in the upcoming releases.
Devon Energy Corp. (DVN - Free Report) is likely to come up with an earnings beat when it reports fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 15. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.64% and a Zacks Rank of 3, at present.
Devon Energy’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth is pegged at 40.3%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DVN’s 2022 earnings per share indicates year-over-year growth of 74.2%.
ProPetro Holding Corp. (PUMP - Free Report) is likely to come up with an earnings beat when it reports fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 22. It has an Earnings ESP of +100.00% and a Zacks Rank of 3, at present.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ProPetro Holding’s 2022 earnings per share suggests year-over-year growth of 232.9%.
Diamondback Energy, Inc. (FANG - Free Report) is likely to come up with an earnings beat when it reports fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 23. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.37% and a Zacks Rank of 3, present.
Diamondback Energy’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth is pegged at 21.9%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FANG’s 2022 earnings per share implies year-over-year growth of 68.3%.
