Crescent Point (CPG) to Report Q2 Results: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Crescent Point Energy Corp. is set to release second-quarter results on Jul 27. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a profit of 43 cents per share.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the energy explorer’s results in the June quarter.
Trend in Estimate Revision & Surprise History
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line has remained the same in the last seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 168.8% improvement year over year.
Crescent Point missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the last four quarters, resulting in an earnings surprise of -17.2%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
Crescent Point Energy Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Crescent Point Energy is expected to have benefited from a surge in commodity price realizations. In the January-to-March period, the company’s average oil and natural gas selling prices were up 74% and 23% year over year, respectively. The uptick is most likely to have continued in the second quarter, with commodity prices remaining strong on the back of geopolitical tensions, strained supply and robust demand. This price boost is likely to have buoyed the revenues and cash flows of the Canadian firm.
On a somewhat bearish note, Crescent Point is likely to have experienced a dip in its production after it disposed off the southeast Saskatchewan assets in the second quarter of 2021. Consequently, the consensus mark for CPG’s average daily Q2 volume is pegged at 125,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), down from the prior-year quarter’s level of 148,641 BOE/d.
The increase in Crescent Point’s costs might have also dented the company’s to-be-reported bottom line. CPG’s operating expense in the first quarter climbed to C$168.7 million from C$142.6 million in the year-earlier period. The upward cost trajectory is likely to have continued in the June quarter due to inflationary pressure across the board.
What Does Our Model Say?
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that Crescent Point is likely to beat estimates in the second quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.
