WPX Energy (WPX) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
WPX Energy Inc. is scheduled to release third-quarter 2019 results on Oct 30. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 28.7%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Consider
WPX Energy’s third-quarter oil production is anticipated to have improved, primarily due to the wells that were completed late in the second quarter or early July.
The company’s strategic transformation via selling off non-core assets and expanding midstream operations is likely to have had a positive impact on third-quarter performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2019 total production is pegged at 173,000 barrels per day, which indicates an increase of 39.5% from the year-ago reported figure. Out of the total production in the third quarter, 63% is expected to be oil.
