ONEOK (OKE) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
ONEOK, Inc. (OKE - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2020 earnings on Feb 22, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 18.64% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things are placed ahead of the upcoming quarterly announcement.
Factors to Consider
With companies starting to ramp up their production volumes, ONEOK’s diversified customer base along with its existing natural gas liquids and natural gas pipelines as well as its presence in the key producing regions is likely to have benefited from volume growth in its pipelines during the fourth quarter.
Completion of pipeline projects with long-term contracts is likely to have boosted the company’s fourth-quarter performance. Also, its greater dependence on fee-based income is expected to positively impact its to-be-reported results.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2020 sales is pegged at $2.91 billion, which indicates an increase of 9.21% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 74 cents per share, implying a 3.9% fall from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model doesn’t predict an earnings beat for ONEOK this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: ONEOK has an Earnings ESP of -0.39%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Here are some companies worth considering from the same sector, which according to our model, have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings in the upcoming releases.

Legal Marijuana: An Investor’s Dream
Imagine getting in early on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.

This is exactly the right time to get in on selected strong companies at a fraction of their value before COVID struck.
