Read MoreHide Full Article

Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2024 results on May 2, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 3.5% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Exelon’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have continued to benefit from its reduction in volumetric risk, as nearly 76% of its distribution revenues are decoupled.

New distribution rates that were implemented during the previous quarters in the company’s service territories are likely to have had a positive impact on earnings.

The company’s bottom line is also expected to have benefited from energy efficiency programs, urban footprints in the densely-populated regions and cost-saving initiatives.

Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 70 cents per share, flat year over year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $5.7 billion, implying a year-over-year increase of 2.5%.
