Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is expected to release first-quarter 2022 earnings on May 9. This utility delivered an average negative earnings surprise of 30.47% for the last four reported quarters.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Exelon’s first-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from new rates effective in service territories of its unit, Commonwealth Edison, PECO Energy Company and Atlantic City Electric, from Jan 1, 2022.
Exelon’s first-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from cost discipline, strong demand from commercial and industrial customers, and decoupled distribution rates, which reduce volumetric risk.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $4.5 billion and 66 cents, respectively. The bottom-line projection indicates a whopping increase of 1,200% from the year-ago quarter, while the top-line estimate suggests a 54.3% year-over-year decline.

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. That is not the case here as you will see below.
