Read MoreHide Full Article

TotalEnergies (TTE - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2023 earnings on Oct 26, before the opening bell. The company reported a negative earnings surprise of 9.95% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s focus on the factors that might have impacted its third-quarter performance.

Factors at Play

TotalEnergies’ third-quarter results are expected to have benefited from the strong demand for petroleum products, boosted by the summer driving season and global recovery in air travel. Its earnings in the third quarter are likely to have benefited from the production of low-cost hydrocarbons from its assets spread across the globe.

Contributions from acquired assets and the expansion of LNG operations are likely to have boosted earnings. Share repurchases during the first nine months of 2023 are likely to have had a positive impact on earnings.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TotalEnergies’ third-quarter earnings per share is $2.44, which indicates a 36.3% decline from the year-ago reported figure.

The company expects third-quarter 2023 hydrocarbon production to be 2.5 Mboe/d, with support from the start-up of the Absheron field in Azerbaijan. The company projects LNG prices in the range of $9-$10/MBtu.
