Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE:BBU) will report fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 6, before the opening bell.

The company posted an earnings surprise of 52.1% in the third quarter of 2019. Its shares have gained 29.2% over the past year against no movement of the industry.

Q4 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.97 per share, indicating year over year growth of 89.4%.

Strong segmental performance is expected to have positively impacted the bottom line in the quarter. The business services segment is likely to have benefited from solid performance of construction services and road fuel distribution operations. Healthscope and Ouro Verde acquisitions are also expected to have driven the segment’s bottom line.

The infrastructure services segment’s bottom line is likely to have benefited from continuous strong performance of Westinghouse’s plants in the United States and China, and Teekay Offshore’s increased ownership position.

Contribution from the acquisition of Clarios in 2019 is expected to have benefited the industrial segment’s bottom line.
