Yahoo Finance ONEOK (OKE) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
ONEOK Inc. OKE is scheduled to release second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 5, after market close. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 3.5% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
ONEOK’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from strong fee-based contracts, as more than 90% of its revenues are likely to have been fee-based.
During the second quarter, the company completed the acquisition of a natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline system for nearly $280 million. The contribution from this acquisition might have been negligible as the deal was closed on Jun 17.
The subsequent quarters are likely to have better synergies.
The company’s bottom line is projected to have gained from wells connected in its Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions in the previous quarters. This should have further increased natural gas gathering and processing volumes.
However, higher interest expenses might have offset some positives in the to-be-reported quarter.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.18 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 13.5%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $5.52 billion, indicating an increase of 47.9% year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Raw feed throughput is pinned at 1,385.6 thousand barrels of natural gas liquid per day, down 0.9% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Natural gas gathered per day is pegged at 3,260.3 billion British thermal units, up 11.6% year over year.
