| Encana (ECA) Q2 Loss Wider than Expected - Tale of the Tape | |
| | |
|
Encana Corporation (ECA) is a focused pure-play natural gas exploration and production (E&P) company. It is the second largest gas producer in North America, and holds a highly competitive land and resource position in a number of the region's most promising shale and tight gas resource plays. The weakness in commodity prices has affected the company’s earnings through reduced realizations. This is reflected in the consensus estimate that has moved down in the last few months. In the trailing four quarters, Encana has reported a negative average earnings surprise of 27.13%. Currently, Encana has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) but that could change following its second quarter 2015 earnings report which has just released. We have highlighted some of the key details from the just-released announcement below: Earnings: Encana misses on earnings. The company announced operating loss per share of 20 cents compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 14 cents. Revenue: Revenues (net of royalties) came in at $830 million, which failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,156 million. Key Stats: Quarterly natural gas production declined approximately 38% year over year to 1,568 million cubic feet per day. Liquid production increased 87% year over year to 127.3 thousand barrels per day. Encana's realized natural gas prices were $3.52 per thousand cubic feet, down from the year-ago quarter level of $4.08.
