Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
MPLX will report Q4 2025 results on Feb. 3, with EPS expected to rise 0.9% year over year.
Revenues are projected to grow 8.9% to $3.3 billion, driven by stable fee-based midstream operations.
Higher capital spending and acquisitions may have pressured MPLX's cash flows in the quarter.
MPLX LP (MPLX - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 3, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the large-cap master limited partnership’s adjusted earnings of $1.52 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.07 due to increased gathering throughput and natural gas processed volumes.
The midstream player beat on earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the mark once, delivering an average surprise of 11.24%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.08 has witnessed one downward revision in the past seven days. The consensus estimate implies an improvement of 0.9% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $3.3 billion indicates an 8.9% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider for MPLX
Being a midstream energy player, the partnership is likely to have generated stable fee-based revenues in the December quarter of 2025 from its asset base, comprising pipeline networks that transport crude oil and refined products. MPLX is also expected to have generated cash flows from its natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation facilities. However, elevated growth capital spending and acquisitions might have hurt MPLX’s cash flows.
