Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.

Estimate Trend

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Vermilion Energy’s second-quarter earnings per share of $1.61 has witnessed one upward revision and one downward movement in the past 30 days. This suggests a significant improvement from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 16 cents.

Factors to Consider

In the June-end quarter, crude oil and natural prices increased significantly from the prior-year quarter. Higher commodity prices are expected to have been favorable for Vermilion Energy’s exploration and production activities in the second quarter, as it is a leading upstream energy player with a strong footprint in the prolific resources of North America, Europe and Australia.

While a healthier commodity price scenario is likely to have boosted the company’s profit levels in the to-be-reported quarter, an escalation in costs is anticipated to have played a spoilsport.
