Equinor ASA will release its first-quarter results for 2026 on April 29, before the market opens. The Norwegian energy company typically publishes its quarterly figures in late April. Analysts expect adjusted operating profit of around NOK 45 billion, based on consensus estimates from Bloomberg. That would be a drop from NOK 58 billion in the same quarter last year, driven by weaker oil prices.

The board plans to propose a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share for the period. Investors searching for dividend announcements will likely focus on this figure. The earnings call with analysts is set for April 29 at 08:00 CET. A briefing is also scheduled at Statoil's Stavanger office at 10:00 local time.

Norwegian media outlets are expected to report on the numbers and the dividend proposal within hours of the release. The results will provide insights into how the company is navigating current market conditions, including lower crude prices. For oil industry watchers and investors, the upcoming announcement marks a key event in the quarterly earnings season.

Analysts will be watching closely for any changes in Equinor's outlook or production guidance. The company's performance in the first quarter of 2026 will be closely tied to global energy prices, which have softened compared to a year ago.
