Ring Energy, Inc.


REI

is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 10, after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the upstream energy company reported earnings of 10 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. In the trailing four quarters, Ring Energy beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line thrice and missed once, delivering an earnings surprise of 19.3%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:

Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.

Estimate Trend

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its

first-quarter earnings

per share of 18 cents has witnessed one upward and no downward movement in the past 30 days. This suggests year-over-year earnings growth of 157.1%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its revenues in the March quarter is pegged at $54.1 million, suggesting year-over-year earnings growth of almost 37%.

Factors to Consider

In the March quarter, crude oil and natural prices increased significantly compared to the prior-year quarter. Healthier commodity prices are likely to have aided Ring Energy since the company is a leading upstream energy player with a strong footprint in the prolific Permian Basin.
