This is depicted in the graph below: Enbridge Inc Price and EPS Surprise Enbridge Inc price-eps-surprise | Enbridge Inc QuoteEstimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of 41 cents has witnessed one downward and one upward revisions in the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests a decline of 2.38% from the prior-year reported number.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $9.11 billion indicates a 9.9% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.Factors to ConsiderAs a leading midstream energy firm, Enbridge operates an extensive oil and gas transportation network that is crucial to the energy ecosystem in the United States and Canada. ENB’s low-risk business model — with minimal exposure to commodity-price volatility — is likely to have generated stable earnings, underpinned by long-term contracts. The company’s Liquids Pipelines segment, which contributes to the majority portion of adjusted EBITDA, is likely to have been aided by steady pipeline volumes from the Mainline System in the to-be-reported quarter. Furthermore, ENB’s Gas Transmission assets, also backed by long-term contracts, are expected to have supported its earnings and cash flows.These factors might have positively impacted demand and pricing dynamics, potentially aiding Enbridge’s quarterly performance.Earnings WhispersOur proven model indicates an earnings beat for ENB this time.
