Key Factors to Impact CNX Midstream's (CNXM) Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
CNX Midstream Partners LP is expected to release third-quarter 2019 results before the opening bell on Tuesday, Oct 29. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be reported quarter is a profit of 52 cents on revenues of $74.2 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has been revised downward 1.9% in the past 30 days. Given this backdrop, let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the company’s performance in the September quarter.
Factors to Consider This Quarter
Mixed signals from the Anchor Systems segment – representing around 98% of CNX Midstream’s revenue – cloud the third-quarter earnings outlook for the partnership.
Our model estimates third-quarter sales for the unit (which handles natural gas midstream facilities in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia) to be $73 million, down slightly from $76 million in the second quarter but 24.8% higher than the year-ago revenue of $58.5 million.
Meanwhile, Anchor Systems throughput volumes improved 9% sequentially in the second quarter, a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter because of the explosive production growth of natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions.
What Does Our Model Say?
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that CNX Midstream is likely to beat estimates in the third quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.

Earnings ESP: CNX Midstream has an Earnings ESP of 0.0%.
In the last reported quarter, the natural gas midstream infrastructure operator beat the consensus mark on robust volume activity.

Revenues of $78.1 million were 28% higher than the year-ago quarter and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $72 million.
