EQT Corporation (EQT) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?

EQT Corporation EQT is set to report first-quarter 2023 earnings on Apr 26, after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings of 42 cents per missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents, owing to lower natural gas and liquids sales volumes.

In the last four quarters, EQT’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice and missed twice, the average surprise being a negative 4.2%. This is depicted in the graph below:

Estimate Trend

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share of $1.37 has witnessed three upward movements and 10 downward revisions over the past 60 days. The estimated figure suggests a 69.1% improvement from the prior-year reported number.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues of $1.99 billion indicates a 26.7% increase from the year-ago reported figure.

Factors to Note

Compared to the prior-year quarter, the pricing scenario of natural gas was not healthier. Hence, it is likely that EQT’s upstream operations, focused on the gas-rich Appalachian Basin, were not as favorable as in the year-ago quarter. This is expected to have lowered gas equivalent production. In the March quarter, we expect EQT to have produced 474,313.9 million cubic feet equivalent, suggesting a year-over-year decline.
