Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.
The midstream player beat on earnings in two of the trailing four quarters and missed the same twice, delivering an average surprise of 7.48%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of $1.06 has witnessed no earnings estimate revisions in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate implies an improvement of 19.1% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues of $3.04 billion indicates a 4.4% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider for MPLX
As a leading midstream infrastructure provider, the partnership is likely to have generated stable fee-based revenues in the September quarter. MPLX's midstream assets are used by shippers to transport crude oil and refined petroleum products for the long term, reflecting a stable business model. With the commodity pricing environment stable in the third quarter, pipeline throughput is likely to have been healthy in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the partnership’s total pipeline throughput is pegged at 6,023.93 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/D), suggesting an improvement from 5,886 MBbl/D in the prior-year reported quarter.
