Answer
US Compression Partners (USAC) reported net cash provided by operating activities of $124.2 million for the second quarter of 2025.
The press release you provided does not include the consensus analyst estimate for Q2 2025 operating cash flow (or any reference to what analysts were expecting). Because the consensus figure isn’t disclosed in the excerpt, we can’t directly compare the actual $124.2 million result to the market’s prior expectations.
What this means for an analyst or investor
| Item | Reported | Consensus (not disclosed) | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 Operating Cash Flow (Net cash from operating activities) | $124.2 million | – | Without the consensus number, we can only state the absolute figure. If the consensus estimate is known from another source (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv), you would compare the two numbers to determine whether USAC beat, met, or missed expectations and assess any resulting price impact. |
How to find the consensus estimate
- Research platforms such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, or Thomson Reuters often publish analyst consensus figures for operating cash flow in their earnings preview screens.
- Brokerage research reports (e.g., from JPMorgan, BofA, or Stifel) may include a “Consensus Estimate” table that lists operating cash flow expectations.
- Financial news services (e.g., Yahoo! Finance, MarketWatch) sometimes summarize consensus estimates in their earnings coverage articles.
If you locate the consensus estimate elsewhere, you can then perform a simple comparison:
- If consensus ≈ $124 million → USAC’s result is essentially in line with expectations (a “meet”).
- If consensus < $124 million → USAC generated more cash than analysts expected, indicating a positive surprise.
- If consensus > $124 million → USAC generated less cash than expected, indicating a miss.
Bottom line: Based solely on the information you supplied, USAC’s Q2 2025 operating cash flow was $124.2 million, but we lack the consensus estimate needed for a direct comparison. To complete the analysis, you’ll need to retrieve the consensus figure from an external analyst‑forecast source.
