Read MoreHide Full Article
Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 23, after the closing bell.

Chesapeake Energy Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.40 has witnessed one downward revision and two upward revisions in the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 105.6% from the prior-year number.
The consensus estimate for fourth-quarter revenues of $1.1 billion indicates a 14.1% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
The pricing scenario of natural gas in fourth-quarter 2021 improved drastically from the prior-year period, thanks to the healthier U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The favorable natural gas price is likely to have favored Chesapeake Energy since it is a leading producer of the commodity. Chesapeake Energy has a solid footprint in unconventional onshore oil and natural gas resources in the United States.
