Norwegian state-owned energy company Equinor is scheduled to release its first quarter 2026 financial results on Wednesday, May 6. This report covers the period from January to March 2026. The company's headquarters are located in Stavanger, Norway. In recent weeks, Equinor has faced increased attention over rising crude oil prices. Oil prices have climbed due to production cuts implemented by OPEC+ and ongoing tensions in the Middle East. According to analysts, Equinor is expected to report net income of around USD 3.5 billion for the quarter. This projection is driven by higher crude oil prices and an increase in gas exports from Norwegian fields. Investors and market observers will be watching the report closely for updates on production figures and any announcements regarding dividends. Equinor is also expected to provide an update on its share buyback program. This program has been a key element of the company's capital returns strategy. Equinor's CEO Anders Opedal will hold a press conference at 08:00 CET on the day of the release. The results are scheduled to be published before the Oslo Stock Exchange opens for trade.
