Key Stores Impacting Magnolia Oil & Gas

Here are the key news stories impacting Magnolia Oil & Gas this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks nudged Q1 2027 EPS up to $0.51 from $0.50 — a small upgrade that suggests a slightly better start to 2027 than previously modeled.
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks left the consensus full‑year estimate unchanged at $2.10, so market consensus remains higher than Zacks’ revised internal outlook.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut its FY2026 EPS forecast to $1.61 from $1.69, the largest downward revision in the note — this reduces medium‑term earnings expectations and is the primary negative driver for sentiment.
• Negative Sentiment: Multiple quarterly trims: Q2 2026 to $0.37 (from $0.39), Q3 2026 to $0.40 (from $0.43), Q4 2026 to $0.46 (from $0.47), Q3 2027 to $0.48 (from $0.49), and Q4 2025 to $0.36 (from $0.37) — these cumulative cuts point to slightly weaker near‑term cash flow expectations.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks trimmed FY2025 and FY2027 estimates marginally (FY2025 to $1.75 from $1.76; FY2027 to $1.98 from $1.99), signaling a broadly cautious stance across multiple years rather than a single outlier quarter.
