Earnings ESP: TechnipFMC has an Earnings ESP of +2.09%.

Zacks Rank: TechnipFMC currently has a Zacks Rank #3, which increases the predictive power of ESP.

Factors Driving Better-Than-Expected Earnings?

Demand for the subsea equipment is likely to have increased in the third quarter as a result of the year-over-year rise in drilling rig activities in the U.S. offshore resources. Evidently, adjusted operating profits of this leading manufacturer of subsea drilling equipment in the quarter under review are likely to have ramped up in the onshore/offshore and subsea segments.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter adjusted operating profits from the Onshore/Offshore and Subsea units is pegged at $255 million and $98 million, respectively, higher than the year-ago reported figures of $243 million and $80 million each.

Highlights of Q2 Earnings

In the quarter ending June, London-based TechnipFMC — a leading manufacturer and supplier of products, services and fully integrated technology solutions for the energy industry — delivered better-than-expected earnings. This outperformance was attributed to higher-than-expected contribution from all the three segments of the company.

Precisely, adjusted EBITDA from the Onshore/Offshore unit totalled $282 million, significantly beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $215 million. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA from Subsea and Surface Technologies came in at $186.2 million and $46.7 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $161 million and $46.51 million, respectively.

On a further encouraging note, the company booked record inbound orders of $11.2 billion, skyrocketing 164.2% year over year. Markedly, the company’s backlog soared 73.4% year over year to $25.8 billion. 

Other Stocks to Consider

TechnipFMC is not the only energy company looking forward to this reporting cycle. Here are some other stocks worth considering from the same space with the right combination of elements to also beat on earnings this time around:

The Williams Companies, Inc. WMB has an Earnings ESP of +1.63% and a Zacks Rank of 3. The energy infrastructure provider is scheduled to release earnings on Oct 30. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation

Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.

A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 7 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
