Factors to Note
Higher shipments to pipeline projects and pricing gains are likely to have driven Tenaris’ top line in the fourth quarter. Higher average selling prices are expected to have boosted margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
Revenues from tubular products and services are expected to reflect a year-over-year increase on the back of higher average selling prices. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for segmental revenues in the fourth quarter indicates a 79.4% surge from the year-ago reported number.
However, lower sales of raw materials and pipes for plumbing applications might have weighed on other products and services revenues in the fourth quarter. The consensus mark for other revenues hints at a 2% decrease from the year-ago reported number. Additionally, an increase in raw material and energy costs is likely to have dented Tenaris’ bottom line.
