EOG Resources (EOG) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 24, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, EOG Resources comfortably beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. It beat the consensus estimate in the prior four quarters, the average earnings surprise being 29.8%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings per share of $3.24 has witnessed three downward revisions and three upward revisions in the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 356.3% from the prior-year number.
The consensus estimate for fourth-quarter revenues of $5.9 billion indicates a 98.8% improvement from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
The pricing scenario of oil in fourth-quarter 2021 improved drastically from the prior-year period, thanks to the rolling out of coronavirus vaccines. The pricing environment of natural gas also improved dramatically in the December quarter from the year-ago period. The rise in oil and natural gas prices is likely to have aided EOG Resources’ upstream businesses.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EOG Resources’ revenues from crude oil and condensate is pegged at $3,861 million, suggesting an improvement from $1,711 million in the year-ago quarter.
Higher oil price has already benefited the bottom line of upstream energy players. ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) is one of them, as revealed from its already reported fourth-quarter results. ConocoPhillips’ strong fourth-quarter results were aided by increased production volumes and realized oil equivalent prices.
The average realized crude oil price of ConocoPhillips for the fourth quarter was $76.76 per barrel, reflecting an increase from the year-ago realization of $40.89.
