Read MoreHide Full Article

CNX Resources Corporation (CNX - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2023 financial results on Apr 27, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 187.7% in the last reported quarter.

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

Factors to Consider

CNX Resources’ first-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from stable production volumes from the Marcellus and Utica shales.

CNX’s free cash flow generation and utilization of the same to repurchase shares and reduce debts must have benefited the company’s bottom-line performance.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at 41 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 48.1%.

The same for revenues is pinned at $427 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 9.92%.
