CONSOL Energy (CEIX) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

CONSOL Energy CEIX is slated to release fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 7, before market open. CEIX delivered a negative earnings surprise of 12.9% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.

Factors to Consider

CONSOL Energy’s production volume in the fourth quarter is expected to have improved, courtesy of growing staffing levels and easing out of a supply chain bottleneck. CEIX’s earnings are likely to have benefited from metallurgical coal production and an improvement in average revenue per ton sold from the year-ago period.

CEIX’s ongoing outstanding debt reduction is expected to have had a positive impact on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CONSOL Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.51 per share, which indicates 308.1% growth from the year-ago reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter sales stands at $526.5 million, suggesting growth of 9.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
