Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PEG - Free Report) or PSEG is slated to report third-quarter 2022 results on Oct 31 before the opening bell.
Its bottom line outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.57%.
Factors to Note
In the third quarter of 2022, PSEG’s service territories witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures. This, in turn, is likely to have boosted the electricity demand for cooling purposes among the company’s customers, thereby contributing to its top line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.24 billion, suggesting growth of 17.7% from the year-ago quarter.
The rate-based growth from regulated investments and the lower cost resulting from the completed sale of PSEG fossil may have aided the margins of the company in the third quarter. These might have added impetus to its bottom line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
However, the supply chain and inflationary pressures may have dampened the bottom line of PSEG in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Also, rising commodity costs may have continued to negatively impact PSEG’s earnings in the third quarter of 2022.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at 83 cents per share, indicating a decline of 15.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
