Analyst Update: Upcoming Earnings, Dividend Declarations, Financial Results, and Regulatory Notice

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. stocks finished lower on Friday as investor sentiments, which were positive after strong jobs report, turned jittery about the risky assets again due to fresh concerns about Greece. The worries flashed after S&P downgraded Greece's long-term sovereign debt rating from B to B-minus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both fell 0.3% to close at 17,824.29 and 2,055.47, respectively. Whereas, the tech-heavy index Nasdaq Composite slid 0.4% to close at 4,744.40. However, despite Friday's slump in trading, the U.S. stock markets registered their best week in the past two years driven by investor optimism amid rising oil prices. In Europe, stocks dipped lower as momentum expected out of favorable U.S. data was offset by concerns surrounding the future of Greece and its bailout program. Asian markets ended mostly higher due to increased risk sentiments riding on the back of solid gain in the U.S. equities overnight and stabilizing crude oil price.

Hess Corporation (HESS) beats analysts' expectations for Q4 2014 top-line, but trailed on bottom-line. The Company also announced a 2015 capital and exploratory budget of $4.7 billion, a decline of 16% from its 2014 actual spend of $5.6 billion. In an earnings release dated January 28, 2015, Hess reported EPS from continuing operations (excluding special items) of 18 cents, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 28 cents.

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (Holly Energy) set to announce Q4 2014 financial results on February 24, 2015, after the close of trading on the NYSE. The Partnership will also host a conference at 4:00 p.m. ET, the same day, to discuss financial results and business outlook. As per Zacks investment research data, the consensus Q4 2014 EPS estimate is of 38 cents.

HollyFrontier Corporation (HollyFrontier) to report Q4 2014 financial results on February 25, 2015, before the opening of trading on the NYSE, followed by a webcast conference, the same day, at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss financial results and business outlook.

HyperDynamics Corporation (HyperDynamics) informed that it received a notice on January 9, 2015 from the NYSE regarding non-compliance of the exchange's continued listing criteria.
