What's in Store for EOG Resources (EOG) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 1, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, its adjusted earnings of $2.82 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.70, primarily driven by higher total production volumes.
Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in one, delivering an average surprise of 7.01%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of $2.98 has witnessed three downward revisions and one upward revision in the past seven days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 19.68% from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $6.06 billion indicates an 8.82% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider
EOG Resources is expected to have maintained a stable performance in the second quarter, supported by highly productive acreages in premier oil shale plays like the Permian and Eagle Ford. The company boasts numerous untapped high-quality drilling sites, which strengthen its production outlook and lower its risk profile.
However, challenges likely arose due to the softening of natural gas prices. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Natural Gas Henry Hub Spot price declined 2.03% sequentially in the second quarter and 3.52% year over year, primarily due to increased natural gas production, milder weather conditions reducing demand, higher storage levels and geopolitical tensions affecting global energy markets.
These factors are anticipated to have affected demand and pricing dynamics, potentially hampering EOG Resources’ quarterly performance.
