TotalEnergies (TTE) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Read MoreHide Full Article

TotalEnergies (TTE - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2022 earnings on Feb 8, before the opening bell. This company reported negative earnings surprise in the last reported quarter.

Let’s focus on the factors that might have impacted its fourth-quarter performance.

Factors at Play

TotalEnergies’ fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from contributions from start-ups, low-cost production and strong oil and gas prices. TTE’s fourth-quarter earnings are also likely to have benefited from acquisitions made to strengthen its existing portfolio and its LNG operations.

TotalEnergies continued to strengthen its overall portfolio through acquisitions and monetization of non-core assets. Share repurchases during the year 2022 are likely to have had a positive impact on fourth-quarter earnings.  

However, positive developments are expected to have been marginally offset by the gradual suspension of TotalEnergies’ operations in Russia. TotalEnergies is expected to record an impairment of $3.7 billion in the fourth quarter.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share is $2.93, which indicates 14.9% growth from the year-ago reported figure.
