Bull Case

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will EPS exceed $0.37?

A beat on EPS could indicate improved operational efficiency and profitability, which is crucial after recent misses.

What will revenue be relative to the $27.2 billion consensus?

Revenue performance is critical for assessing the company's growth trajectory and market demand for its services.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate the potential for a revenue rebound, given recent improvements in energy demand and pricing.

Supporting Evidence

Recent trends in energy prices suggest a more favorable environment for revenue growth.

The options market indicates a higher-than-average expected move, reflecting uncertainty that could lead to a surprise.

Historical patterns show that Energy Transfer has occasionally rebounded strongly after earnings misses.

Key Risk

If revenue exceeds $30.2 billion, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's results are pivotal as they will determine if Energy Transfer can regain investor confidence after a series of earnings misses.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.39 or higher would confirm a strong recovery in profitability.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $0.36 would reinforce concerns about operational challenges.
