Key Takeaways
Suncor Energy to report Q2 earnings on Aug. 4, with consensus estimates of $2.14 EPS on $10.35B revenues.
SU's downstream business likely benefited from favorable refining margins and stable refinery throughput.
SU's planned maintenance at Firebag and Base Plant likely reduced production and raised expenses.
Suncor Energy Inc. (SU - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 earnings on Aug. 4, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.14 per share, and the same for revenues is pinned at $10.35 billion.
Let us delve into the factors that might have influenced SU’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it is worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter.
Highlights of SU’s Q1 Earnings & Surprise History
In the first quarter, this Alberta-based integrated oil and gas company’s earnings missed the consensus mark. Suncor Energy posted adjusted operating earnings of $1.41 per share, which were 3% below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.45. This was primarily due to a 16.5% increase in total expenses and higher commodity input costs during the quarter. However, the company’s operating revenues of $10.7 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 19.53%.
SU's earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed in one, delivering an average surprise of 6.93%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2026 earnings has remained unchanged in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 319.61% year-over-year bottom-line increase. Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates an increase of 20.42% from the year-ago period’s level.
Factors to Consider Ahead of SU’s Q2 Release
On a positive note, SU's revenues are likely to have improved in the quarter to be reported. Our model predicts second-quarter revenues to increase from the year-ago quarter's level of $8.60 billion. Suncor's downstream operations are expected to have provided solid support to its second-quarter performance despite volatility in crude markets. Favorable refining margins and sustained demand for refined products through much of the quarter are likely to have driven stronger earnings from the company's refining and marketing business. Stable refinery throughput is also expected to support overall results, highlighting the resilience of Suncor's integrated business model.
On the flip side, extensive turnaround activity is expected to weigh on second-quarter results. Management stated that Suncor's largest upstream maintenance events at the Firebag and Base Plant facilities were underway during the quarter and were expected to have been completed before the end of the second quarter. These planned outages are likely to have temporarily lowered production volumes, increased maintenance expenses and limited upstream earnings, partially offsetting the strength of the company's downstream operations.
