Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.02 per share and revenue of $11.86 billion. These totals would mark changes of +5.79% and +5.09%, respectively, from last year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for MPLX LP. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
