Yahoo Finance What's in the Offing for Energy Transfer's (ET) Q1 Earnings?
Energy Transfer LP ET is scheduled to release first-quarter 2020 results on May 11. This oil and gas midstream firm came up with a positive earnings surprise of 11.8%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note
The firm’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the acquisition of SemGroup Corporation, which was completed in fourth-quarter 2019.
The firm has placed several projects in service including the J.C. Nolan Diesel Pipeline, the Permian Express four pipeline, two processing plants in West Texas and the sixth fractionator at Mont Belvieu. All these projects are expected to have contributed to first-quarter earnings.
Q1 Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 32 cents per unit and $14.02 billion, respectively. The revenue projection indicates a 6.86% increase, while the bottom-line estimate indicates a decline of 13.51% from the year-ago reported figure.
