Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. (VIST - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter results on Apr 26. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a profit of 39 cents per share on revenues of $211.1 million.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the Mexico-based energy firm’s results in the March quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at Vista’s previous-quarter performance first.
Highlights of Q4 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last-reported quarter, the Argentina-focused company beat the consensus mark due to higher production and commodity prices. Vista had reported earnings per share of 37 cents, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 20 cents. Revenues of $196 million generated by the firm came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
VIST beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings once in the last four quarters but missed thrice, resulting in a negative earnings surprise of 24.1%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
What Does Our Model Say?
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that Vista is likely to beat estimates in the first 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.

Earnings ESP: Vista Oil & Gas has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at 39 cents per share each.
