FuelCell Energy (FCEL) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
FuelCell Energy Inc. (FCEL - Free Report) is slated to release third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Sep 14. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 20%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this alternate energy company prior to the earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Its fiscal third-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from increasing adoption of the fuel cell technology and proper execution of projects. During the quarter, a 1.4 MW SureSource 1500™ biofuels fuel cell project in California started commercial operations.
The company is likely to have benefited from lower capital servicing costs in the fiscal third quarter, as FuelCell Energy reduced outstanding long-term debt during first-half fiscal 2021.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top and bottom lines is pegged at $21.19 million and a loss of 5 cents per share, respectively. The top- and bottom-line estimates indicate year-over-year growth of 13.1% and 28.6%, respectively.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for FuelCell Energy this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. It does not have the required combination, as elaborated below. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
