What's in Store for Continental Resources' (CLR) Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Continental Resources, Inc. is set to report second-quarter 2022 earnings on Jul 28, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, Continental Resources’ earnings per share of $2.65 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.41, owing to higher oil-equivalent production volumes and commodity price realizations.
CLR’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice and missed once in the trailing four quarters, with the average surprise being 17.5%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Continental Resources, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of $3.19 has witnessed four upward and no downward revisions over the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests a 250.6% improvement from the prior-year reported number.
The consensus estimate for second-quarter revenues of $2.7 billion indicates a 115.7% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
The pricing scenario of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was considerably higher in the second quarter of this year compared to the year-ago period. Per data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the monthly WTI crude spot prices for this year’s April, May and June were $101.78 per barrel, $109.55 per barrel and $114.84 per barrel, respectively. The commodity prices were higher than last year’s prices of $61.72 per barrel, $65.17 per barrel and $71.38 per barrel, respectively. The significant crude price improvement was primarily supported by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
High oil price was favorable for exploration and production operations of CLR in the June quarter. This is because Continental Resources is among the leading producer of oil in the United States, having a strong presence in the prolific Bakken play of North Dakota and Montana. The quarterly earnings are likely to have gained from this.
