Zacks Investment Research | Feb 17, 2019 10:22PM ET
We expect Sunoco LP (NYSE:SUN) to beat expectations when it reports fourth-quarter 2018 results after the closing bell on Wednesday, Feb 20. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter under review is a profit of 64 cents per unit on revenues of $4.3 billion.
In the preceding three-month period, the Dallas, TX-based motor fuel distributor beat the consensus mark by 76.9% on solid execution, contribution from acquisitions and strong margins.
As far as earnings surprises are concerned, the wholesale distributor and retailer of petroleum products has a mixed record, having gone past the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the last four reports. This is depicted in the graph below.
