Read MoreHide Full Article
Magnolia Oil & Gas Corp (MGY - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2023 adjusted net income of 56 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents.

The bottom line deteriorated from the year-ago quarter’s level of 90 cents due to a decline in commodity prices.
Total revenues came in at $308.38 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $323 million. The top line declined 18.4% from $377.84 million recorded in the year-ago period.
Magnolia declared a cash dividend of 11.5 cents per share of Class A common stock and a cash distribution of 11.5 cents per Class B unit, payable on Jun 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2023.
