Our consensus of analysts represents the average estimate of multiple independent financial and equity analysts following Equinor. We aggregate their forecasts on key metrics such as earnings and production estimates, helping investors to predict performance and providing a benchmark for comparing actual outcomes.

Every quarter ahead of the earnings announcement, we collect earnings and production estimates from the equity analysts covering the company. These numbers become a proxy for the market’s expectations of our results.

Closed Period

We voluntarily apply a ‘closed period’ before the results of a reporting period are announced. During the two-week period preceding the announcement, we limit our communications with the capital market and will not meet with capital market representatives.

Method: Consensus numbers for reporting segments, as well as tax and production items, represent the average of the inputs after deducting the highest and lowest value for each item. The consensus numbers for adjusted operating income (before tax) represents the sum of the consensus for reporting segments. Estimate for after tax operating income (adjusted) equals the consensus pre-tax number minus consensus for tax in total.
