MPLX Gears Up to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
MPLX LP (MPLX - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 3, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the diversified, large-cap master limited partnership reported earnings of 78 cents per unit, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents per unit on increased contributions from logistics and storage operations as well as the gathering and processing business.
In the trailing four quarters, MPLX beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line three times and met once, delivering an earnings surprise of 4.9%, 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 its first-quarter earnings per unit of 77 cents has witnessed two upward and no downward movement in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate suggests a year-over-year increase of 13.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues of $2.4 billion indicates a 1.4% improvement from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
MPLX is likely to have generated stable fee-based revenues in the March quarter as a midstream energy player with energy infrastructure and logistics assets. The large range of midstream properties likely to have aided MPLX in the quarter is the pipeline network, transporting crude oil and refined product.
Crude oil and natural gas gathering systems and pipelines are also expected to have generated cashflows for MPLX since healthier commodity prices are likely to have provided incentives to upstream players to ramp up exploration and production operations.
