The estimated figure suggests a decline of 2.5% from the prior-year reported number.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $10.86 billion indicates a 0.5% decrease from the year-ago recorded figure.Factors to Consider for ENBAs a leading midstream energy firm, Enbridge is anticipated to have sustained stable performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Enbridge’s low-risk business model, with minimal exposure to volatility in commodity prices, is likely to have generated stable earnings underpinned by long-term contracts. Notably, more than 98% of ENB’s EBITDA is generated by assets that are regulated or covered under long-term take-or-pay contracts, which are expected to have supported its earnings and cash flows.However, despite the stable nature of its business model, ENB’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter is anticipated to have been affected by increased financing costs and higher maintenance expenses for its midstream assets, which are likely to have weighed on its overall profitability. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ENB’s third-quarter revenues is down from the year-ago quarter’s reported $10.91 billion.These factors are likely to have impacted demand and pricing dynamics, potentially hampering Enbridge’s quarterly performance.Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ENB this time.
