On October 29, Equinor ASA fell 3.23% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $46.12/share, with turnover of $2.4494 million.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly results, where third-quarter adjusted earnings came in at $1.20 per share, below market expectations ranging from $1.30 to $1.39, while revenue of $32.94 billion also modestly trailed consensus.
Although the quarter improved markedly from a year earlier, net profit reached $2.54 billion and equity production rose 2% year over year to 2.166 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Equinor maintained its full-year oil and gas production growth guidance at 4%, declared a cash dividend of $0.39 per share, and launched a new share buyback program of up to $1.125 billion, but the earnings shortfall appears to have been the direct trigger for the pre-market weakness.
