What's in the Cards for Tenaris (TS) This Earnings Season?

ATR TS ALLE

Tenaris (TS - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2022 financial numbers on Feb 15.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings has remained steady in the past 60 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters, while missing in one.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Tenaris this earnings season.

Factors to Note

Higher shipments to pipeline projects and pricing gains are likely to have driven Tenaris’ top line in the fourth quarter. Higher average selling prices are expected to have boosted margins in the to-be-reported quarter.

Revenues from tubular products and services are expected to reflect a year-over-year increase on the back of higher average selling prices. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for segmental revenues in the fourth quarter indicates a 79.4% surge from the year-ago reported number.

However, lower sales of raw materials and pipes for plumbing applications might have weighed on other products and services revenues in the fourth quarter. The consensus mark for other revenues hints at a 2% decrease from the year-ago reported number. Additionally, an increase in raw material and energy costs is likely to have dented Tenaris’ bottom line.
