Consol Energy (CNX) is set to report its 4Q15 earnings on January 29, 2015. For 4Q15, Wall Street analysts expect CNX to report an adjusted fall of $0.09 per share. That would be lower by $0.34 per share when compared to a 4Q14 profit of $0.25 per share. When compared sequentially with 3Q15, CNX’s 4Q15 earnings expectations show a rise of $0.19 per share.
For 4Q15, Wall Street analysts expect CNX to report revenue of ~$719 million. That’s lower by ~20% when compared with 4Q14 revenue of ~$905 million. Even when compared sequentially with 3Q15, CNX’s 4Q15 revenue expectations are lower by ~6%. The much lower year-over-year revenue expectations for 4Q15 are the direct result of a steep fall in natural gas prices and coal prices.
CNX’s earnings trend

Due to the steep downward trend in energy prices, the S&P 500 (SPY) upstream companies Southwestern Energy (SWN), EOG Resources (EOG), and Murphy Oil (MUR) are expected to report ~22%, ~49%, and ~55%, respectively, in year-over-year falls in their 4Q15 revenues.
