QuoteEstimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of $2.20 has witnessed no downward or upward revision in the past seven days. The estimated figure suggests a decline of 30.4% from the prior-year reported number.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $5.43 billion indicates a 9.8% decrease from the year-ago recorded figure.Factors to ConsiderEOG Resources is expected to have delivered a stable performance in the second quarter, supported by highly productive acreages in premier oil shale plays like the Permian and Eagle Ford. The company boasts numerous untapped high-quality drilling sites, which strengthen its production outlook and lower risk profile.However, EOG faced margin pressure from softer commodity realizations as average oil prices fell sharply during the quarter, squeezing upstream profitability despite steady production levels. The company also trimmed its 2025 capital expenditure budget by $200 million, signaling a more cautious investment approach amid uncertain pricing and demand trends. Furthermore, EOG is absorbing higher financing costs tied to its $5.6 billion acquisition of Encino Acquisition Partners, which added roughly $3.5 billion in new debt to its balance sheet.These factors are anticipated to have impacted demand and pricing dynamics, potentially affecting EOG Resources’ quarterly performance.Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not indicate an earnings beat for EOG this time around.
