In the last reported quarter, the midstream infrastructure provider’s adjusted earnings per limited partner unit of 65 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents, owing to higher contributions from the NGL and Natural Gas Pipelines & Services businesses.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. Price and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings of 61 cents per unit has seen two upward revisions and no downward movement in the past 30 days. The figure suggests a 1.7% year-over-year increase.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $13.9 billion for the quarter, indicating an increase of 6.7% from the year-ago reported figure.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Enterprise Products this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP for the partnership is +1.09%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Factors to Consider
Enterprise Products has a stable business model and is not significantly exposed to the volatility in oil and gas prices. It generates stable fee-based revenues from its extensive pipeline network that spreads across more than 50,000 miles, transporting natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil petrochemicals and refined products.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter gross operating margin from natural gas pipelines & services is pegged at $284 million, suggesting an increase from $220 million in first-quarter 2022. Our estimate for the metric is pegged at $229.3 million, also indicating a year-over-year improvement.
