What's in the Offing for Hess Corp's (HES) Earnings in Q4?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hess Corporation (HES - Free Report) is set to report earnings results for fourth-quarter 2022 on Jan 25, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, Hess Corp’s earnings per share of $1.89 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny due to higher realizations of commodity prices and increased hydrocarbon production.
The company’s earnings per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the prior four quarters, with the average surprise being 8.1%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.72 has witnessed one upward and two downward revisions over the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests a 102.4% improvement from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues of $2.8 billion indicates a 22.4% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
Per data provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average West Texas Intermediate crude prices per barrel in October, November and December were $87.55, $84.37 and $76.44, respectively. Notably, in the year-ago October, November and December months, average oil prices were $81.48 per barrel, $79.15 per barrel and $71.71 per barrel, per the EIA’s data.
The pricing scenario of natural gas was also healthy, depicting that the upstream business was lucrative in the fourth quarter.
Being a leading shale oil and gas producer, Hess Corp is expected to have benefited from the favorable commodity price scenario. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s net production per day is pegged at 366 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBoE/D), suggesting an improvement from 316 MBoE/D in third-quarter 2021. Our estimate for the metric is 373.1 MBoE/D, suggesting a significant year-over-year improvement.
Higher production and commodity prices are expected to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
