What's in Store for Callon Petroleum's (CPE) Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Callon Petroleum Company is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Nov 2, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the exploration and production company came up with adjusted earnings of 10 cents per share against the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 2 cents due to higher oil and gas production volumes, as well as decreased lease operating expenses. However, the positives were partially offset by lower natural gas and oil price realizations. The firm beat earnings estimates thrice and missed once in the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 44.8%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 27 cents has witnessed one upward movement and six downward revisions in the past 30 days. This estimate is indicative of an 85.8% decrease from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $248.7 million, suggesting an increase of 60.1% from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Note
Callon Petroleum’s focus on exploration and production of oil and gas resources in the Permian Basin is expected to reflect on third-quarter results. Permian has three major sub basins — Midland Basin, Delaware Basin and Central Basin Platform. Of these, the company has strong footprint in the Midland and Delaware Basins, which are likely to have supported third-quarter production. Moreover, the acquisition of Carrizo — which was closed last December — is expected to have led to a year-over-year surge in production.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for average daily production volumes is pegged at 98,903 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d), indicating a significant rise from the year ago period’s 37,837 Boe/d. The same for natural gas output is pegged at 9,801 million cubic feet (MMcf), pointing to a rise from the year-ago quarter’s 4,538 MMcf. Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for crude oil production volumes is pegged at 5,779 thousand barrels (MBbls), implying an increase from the year-ago period’s 2,725 MBbls.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for average sales price for oil (before hedging) is pegged at $37.55 per barrel, which indicates a decrease from the year-ago period’s $54.39. Also, the consensus estimate for average natural gas sales price of $1.22 cents per Mcf suggests a decrease from the third-quarter 2019 level of $1.58. These lower commodity price realizations are expected to have offset the gains from higher production volumes.
