Murphy Oil (MUR) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter 2022 financial results on May 4 before market open. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 11.1% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the impending quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Murphy Oil’s efforts to improve production levels are likely to enhance the upcoming results. Strong production volumes from the Eagle Ford Shale and the Gulf of Mexico region are likely to have boosted the first-quarter performance. Also, MUR’s first-quarter performance is likely to have gained from the recovery in commodity prices.
Murphy Oil’s debt-reduction initiatives are expected to have lowered capital servicing expenses, thus boosting margins.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2022 sales is pegged at $603.4 million, indicating a surge of 58.8% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus estimate for first-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at 59 cents per share, implying an improvement of 883.3% from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter net crude oil and condensate production volumes was 79,000 barrels per day.
For the first quarter of 2022, Murphy Oil expects net production in the 136-142 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day range.
