Read MoreHide Full Article
Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 4.
In the last reported quarter, the integrated energy company reported earnings of $1.36 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.22 per share on higher commodity prices and increased contributions from the Martin Linge oil field.
In the trailing four quarters, Equinor beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line, delivering an earnings surprise of 22.1%, 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 the company’s first-quarter earnings per share of $1.57 has witnessed one upward and no downward movement in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate suggests a year-over-year increase of 91.5%.

In the March quarter, prices of crude oil and natural increased significantly as compared to the prior-year quarter. Healthier commodity prices are likely to have aided Equinor since the company conducts exploration activities worldwide.
