Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.
Estimate Trend
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.62 has witnessed no movement in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate suggests a year-over-year increase of 19.1%.
Factors to Consider
In the December quarter, prices of crude oil and natural increased significantly from the prior-year quarter. Healthier commodity prices are likely to have aided Equinor since the company conducts exploration activities worldwide. Higher pricing scenario is also expected to have aided Equinor’s production, aiding upstream operations.
