EOG Resources stock heads into November 5 earnings test

EOG Resources is heading toward its third-quarter earnings release on Thursday, November 5, after the market close. MarketBeat reports that analysts expect earnings of USD 4.47 per share on revenue of USD 7.26 billion for the quarter.

The forecast would represent a sharp year-over-year increase from the USD 2.71 per-share result and USD 5.85 billion in revenue reported for the same quarter a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. The estimates point to continued earnings growth even as quarterly results are expected to fall below the second quarter's record level.

Second Quarter Sets A High Bar

EOG Resources reported USD 5.07 in second-quarter earnings per share and revenue of USD 8.62 billion, beating the cited analyst EPS estimate of USD 4.97. MarketBeat says the company has exceeded the consensus EPS estimate in each of its last eight quarters.

That track record raises the importance of the November release for investors. The key question is whether production, realized commodity prices and cost control can support another earnings beat after the unusually strong second quarter. The estimate also gives the market a reference point for judging whether lower sequential earnings reflect normal quarter-to-quarter variation or a broader change in operating momentum.

Results And Call Set For November

MarketBeat lists the third-quarter announcement for after the market closes on Thursday, November 5. The company is scheduled to hold its conference call on Friday, November 6, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, when management is expected to discuss production, capital spending and the outlook.
