Energy Transfer (ET) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Energy Transfer LP ET is scheduled to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 3. In the last reported quarter, this oil and gas midstream firm delivered an earnings surprise of 338.5%.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Note

Since Energy Transfer has a diverse business model, and its pipelines are strategically located and spread across every major production basin, a gradual increase in hydrocarbon production must have boosted the demand for its services and thereby earnings.

The firm’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited predominantly from fee-based contracts with drillers. Energy Transfer’s second-quarter earnings are also expected to have gained from the completion of organic projects at the end of December 2020 and first-half 2021, which in turn increased pipeline transportation capacity.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 24 cents per unit and $15.54 billion, respectively. Revenue and earnings per unit estimates indicate an increase of 111.7% and 84.6%, respectively, from the year-ago reported figures.

What Our Quantitative Model Predicts

Our proven model doesn’t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Energy Transfer this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is not the case here as you see below.
