Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. PAA is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 4, 2020, after market close.

In the last reported quarter, the firm delivered a positive earnings surprise of 33.33%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this earnings season.
Factors to Consider
We expect Plains All American Pipeline’s earnings for the to-be-reported quarter to have benefited from higher fee-based earnings, continuing with the trend from the first nine months of 2019.
The firm’s Cactus II pipeline entered service in mid-August, establishing connectivity with Taft, Ingleside and Corpus Christi thereafter. Its fourth quarter earnings are expected to have gained traction from the addition of this new pipeline and production ramp-up in Permian Basin.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings of 49 cents has been revised 4.26% upward, over the past 60 days.
