Southwestern Energy Company (SWN - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2022 earnings results on Aug 4, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the upstream energy player’s earnings of 40 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 36 cents, owing to higher natural gas production volumes and commodity price realizations.
In the trailing four quarters, Southwestern’s bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice and missed the same once, the average surprise being 3.2%. This is depicted in the graph below:

Let’s delve into the factors that are anticipated to have influenced Southwestern’s performance in the June-end quarter.
Estimate Trend
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its second-quarter earnings per share of 31 cents has witnessed four upward revisions and four downward movements in the past 30 days. The estimate suggests a 63.2% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
