Peabody Energy (BTU) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2023 results on Jul 27, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 7.7% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Peabody Energy’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have been boosted by the company’s share repurchase program and surety agreement to limit collateral exposure and remove other restrictions.
Its continued debt reduction is likely to have decreased capital financing costs and raised profitability. BTU will continue to benefit from its diverse asset base and low-cost U.S. thermal segments.
The company is expected to have benefited from increased tons of coal sold in the to-be-reported quarter. BTU’s Powder River Basin Mining unit is likely to have made a major contribution to its total sales. Despite increased tons of coal sold, the company’s revenues might have been negatively impacted by a decrease in average selling price.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s earnings is pegged at $1.54 per share, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 42.3%. The consensus mark for revenues is pinned at $1.28 billion, indicating a deterioration of 3.2% year over year.
The consensus estimate for total amount of coal sold is pegged at 31.6 million tons, up 10.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
