Estimate Trend

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings witnessed one upward revision and one downward movement in the past 30 days. It is currently pegged at 35 cents per share.

The consensus mark for revenues stands at $72.6 million, implying a marginal year-over-year decline.

Factors to Consider

The pricing scenario of oil and natural gas was impressive in the third quarter of this year. Per data provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average West Texas Intermediate crude prices per barrel in July, August and September were $76.07, $81.39 and $89.43, respectively. Although the prices were not as high as in the year-ago quarter, the commodity prices were impressive and healthy.

Like oil, natural gas prices in the September quarter were healthier than in the second quarter, aiding the exploration and production activities of this leading oil and gas mineral and royalty player. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total third quarter production is pegged at 19,733 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d), suggesting an increase from 14,985 Boe/d in a year-ago quarter.
