What's in the Offing for Baker Hughes' (BKR) Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes Company (BKR - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 20, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the oilfield service provider reported earnings of 25 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents per share due to a decline in cost productivity in Digital Solutions.
In the trailing four quarters, Baker Hughes beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings once and missed the same thrice, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 18.3%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.
Estimate Trend
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share of 19 cents has witnessed no upward and downward movements in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate suggests a year-over-year increase of 58.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues of $5 billion indicates a 4.7% rise from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
The price of West Texas Intermediate crude touched $100 per barrel in the March-end quarter of 2022. The commodity price has improved significantly from the year-ago quarter. With higher oil prices, shale production looks a lot more attractive.
The favorable crude pricing environment convinced explorers and producers to return to shale plays.In first-quarter 2022, Baker Hughes reported an increase in drilling rigs in the United States. With upstream players returning to shale plays, higher oilfield service activities are expected to have aided Baker Hughes’ bottom line.
However, higher oil price causes project delays as it can drive costs for oil drillers, resulting in a downfall for oilfield services. This is likely to have hurt the company’s operations.
