What's in the Offing for CNX Resources (CNX) in Q3 Earnings?

Read MoreHide Full Article

CNX Resources Corporation (CNX - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2022 earnings on Oct 27, before market open. This exploration and production company delivered an average earnings surprise of 24.1% in the last four reported quarters.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Stable production volumes and high prices are expected to have boosted CNX Resources’ third-quarter performance. The company’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from lower shares outstanding, as it has been opportunistically repurchasing shares from the open market.

CNX Resources utilized its free cash flow to lower the outstanding debt level by more than $85 million in the first six months of 2022, which, in turn, is likely to have lowered capital servicing costs and aided margins in the third quarter.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 76 cents, which indicates 2.7% growth from the year-ago reported figure.
