Ecopetrol's profits projected to have plummeted up to 43% last year
Ecopetrol will reveal its 2025 business results next Wednesday, March 4. However, estimates are already circulating that anticipate a sharp drop in its profits...
TL;DR
- Ecopetrol's 2025 profits are estimated to fall between 36% and 43%, reaching $8.5 to $9.5 trillion Colombian pesos.
- The decrease is driven by lower international Brent crude oil prices, which averaged $63.1 per barrel in Q4 2025.
- The appreciation of the Colombian peso against the dollar also negatively impacts Ecopetrol's earnings by reducing the peso value of dollar-denominated export revenues.
- The company's net profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 is estimated to be around $1.4 trillion Colombian pesos, aligning with preliminary company disclosures.
- Official 2025 results will be released on March 4th, providing confirmation of the external factors' impact on Ecopetrol.
