Read MoreHide Full Article

Energy Transfer LP (ET - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 15, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the oil and gas midstream firm’s earnings were on par with estimates.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Note

Energy Transfer’s fourth-quarter earnings benefited from the acquisition of Woodford Express LLC. Strong export volumes in Energy Transfer’s Nederland and Marcus Hook Terminals are likely to have boosted the firm’s earnings in the fourth quarter.

Energy Transfer’s pipelines are spread across every major production basin, which ensures diverse earnings sources, which is further likely to have boosted fourth-quarter earnings. Fee-based contracts of the firm are also likely to have boosted fourth-quarter earnings.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 37 cents per unit and $27.43 billion, respectively.

The revenue estimate indicates an increase of 47% from the year-ago reported figure, while the earnings per unit estimate suggests 27.6% growth from the year-ago reported figure.
