Devon Energy (DVN) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Devon Energy Corp. (DVN - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 18. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 36.8%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Consider
Higher production from the Powder River and Delaware basins is likely to have had a positive impact on fourth-quarter average daily oil production. Devon Energy estimates total oil production from retained assets for the fourth quarter of 2019 within 154,000-160,000 barrels per day. Total production for the quarter is expected in the range of 420,000-448,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from lower shares outstanding, debt reduction and cost-reduction initiatives undertaken by the company.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 29 cents per share, indicating growth of 190% from the prior-year reported figure.

5 Stocks Set to Double
