Cheniere Energy Partners (CQH): Q2 Earnings To Surprise?
Zacks Investment Research | Aug 04, 2016 10:55PM ET
Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings LLC (NYSE:CQH) is expected to report second-quarter 2016 results before the opening bell on Aug 9.
In each of the last four quarters, the partnership delivered an earnings surprise of 0.00%. Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Consider this Quarter
Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, by virtue of its 55.9% ownership in Cheniere Energy Partners LP (NYSE:CQP) , primarily operates the Sabine Pass natural gas regasification and liquefaction facilities. Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings also operates Creole Trail Pipeline located in Louisiana. This solid asset base might help the partnership to earn sufficiently for its shareholders.
Moreover, the fate of the midstream player’s business is positively correlated with natural gas production. The output of the commodity in the U.S. has been booming owing to hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) and sophisticated horizontal drilling techniques. In fact, it has been an oversupplied market for the commodity over the past few quarters. The same is applicable for the second quarter.
Hence, we can say that the business environment was favorable for the partnership as higher production of natural gas usually increases the need for regasification, liquefaction and transportation activities. Yet, we have to wait for the final earnings release to find out whether this increase in output translates into a positive surprise.
