Is a Beat in the Offing for Enbridge (ENB) in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2023 results on Feb 9, before the opening bell.
Let’s delve into the factors that are anticipated to have influenced this pipeline operator’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. However, it is worth taking a look at ENB’s previous quarter’s performance first.
Highlights of Q3 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the midstream energy player’s adjusted earnings per share of 46 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents, thanks to higher contributions from the Liquids Pipelines segment. This was partially offset by lower contributions from the Gas Transmission and Midstream, and Gas Distribution and Storage segments.
Enbridge’s earnings beat estimates in two of the trailing four quarters, met once and missed on one occasion, delivering an average negative earnings surprise of 2.3%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Enbridge’s fourth-quarter earnings witnessed one upward movement and two downward revisions in the past 30 days. Earnings estimates are pegged at 50 cents per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 8.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ENB’s fourth-quarter revenues of $9.6 billion indicates a 2.7% decline from the year-ago reported figure.

Factors to Note
