ConocoPhillips (COP) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 5, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the upstream energy company reported earnings of $2.27 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.20. In the trailing four quarters, ConocoPhillips beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line, delivering an earnings surprise of 12.6%, 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 share of $3.24 has witnessed seven upward and no downward movements in the past 30 days. This suggests a year-over-year improvement of 369.6%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its revenues for the March quarter is pegged at $16.5 billion, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 55.8%.
Factors to Consider
In the March quarter, crude oil and natural prices increased significantly compared to the prior-year quarter. Healthier commodity prices are likely to have aided ConocoPhillips since the company is a leading upstream energy player.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ConocoPhillips’ daily crude oil production is pegged at 932 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d), suggesting an improvement from 818 MBbl/d in the year-ago quarter.
Thus, higher commodity prices and crude production are likely to have aided ConocoPhillips’ earnings.
