, the Q3 adjusted EPS result—and, more importantly, management’s forward production, unit-cost and capital-allocation outlook—is the estimate most likely to matter for the share price.
Consensus EPS: $1.462 for 2026Q3, based on 22 analysts; the consensus implies 128.4% YoY growth . This is the cleanest headline gauge of whether higher oil prices and operating execution translate into shareholder earnings.
Why not revenue? Revenue consensus is $6.79 billion , only 1.1% above the prior-year quarter. For an upstream-heavy producer, revenue is heavily dictated by realized commodity prices; it is less informative than margins, production volumes and cost per barrel.
Best operational cross-check: consensus EBIT of $2.32 billion . If EPS beats but EBIT, production or cost guidance disappoints, investors may view the beat as lower quality or non-operational.
What may outweigh the headline beat/miss: UBS expects Rockies production and lower domestic lease operating costs to offset Gulf of America downtime, while looking for an update on achieving the company’s debt target and on post-deleveraging capital allocation. Those points could drive the reaction more than a small EPS variance.

The report is scheduled for after the close on 2026-11-09 . Note that available estimate feeds are not fully aligned: one shows $1.462 consensus EPS, while another shows $1.37. Focus on the company’s reported adjusted-EPS definition and the consensus benchmark used immediately before release rather than treating a small beat versus either figure as decisive.
Bottom line: A constructive outcome would be EPS at/above consensus with production around guidance, lower unit costs and confirmation of debt/cash-return priorities. A standalone revenue beat would be less meaningful. The principal invalidation risks are a weaker oil-price outlook or a production shortfall that causes 2027 earnings expectations to be revised down.
