Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., or Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 4. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a profit of 92 cents per share on revenues of $19.17 billion.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced Brazil's state-run energy giant’s results in the June quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at Petrobras’ previous-quarter performance first.
Highlights of Q1 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last-reported quarter, the integrated energy major missed the consensus mark owing to lower production and a slight increase in pre-salt lifting costs. Petrobras had reported earnings per ADS of 3 cents, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. The company’s revenues of $15.7 billion had also underperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.43%.
Petrobras beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the last four quarters and missed in the other two, delivering an earnings surprise of 308.91%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
What Does Our Model Say?
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that Petrobras is likely to beat estimates in the second quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: Petrobras has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at 92 cents per share each.
Zacks Rank: Petrobras currently carries a Zacks Rank #1, which increases the predictive power of ESP. However, the company’s 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult this earnings season.
