What's in the Offing for Equinor's (EQNR) Earnings in Q1?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2023 results on May 4.
In the last reported quarter, the integrated energy company’s earnings of $1.84 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.62 on higher daily equity production of liquids and gas.
In all of the trailing four quarters, Equinor’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, delivering a surprise of 10.7%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter earnings per share of $1.08 has witnessed no movement in the past seven days. The consensus estimate suggests a decline of 32.5% from the year-ago reported number.
Factors to Consider
Compared to the prior-year quarter, the pricing scenario of oil was not healthier. But, the crude pricing environment, although not as good as a year ago, was still highly favorable for exploration and production activities for firms like Equinor. A favorable commodity pricing scenario is likely to have aided Equinor’s oil and oil equivalent production.
Our estimate for total entitlement liquid and gas production is pegged at 2,032.3 MBoe/D, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 3.8%.
