Entergy Corporation (ETR - Free Report) is set to release third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 2, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 25.35%.
Entergy beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.89%.
Factors to Consider
In the July-September 2022 quarter, territories served by Entergy witnessed a mixed weather pattern. While some parts of its territory witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures accompanied by dry weather conditions, some other parts observed wet temperatures. This is likely to have had a moderate impact on the company’s overall top-line performance in the third quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Entergy’s third-quarter revenues, pegged at $3.35 billion, indicates a slip of 0.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Robust economic activity and favorable warmer-than-normal weather are expected to have boosted earnings performance. Moreover, growth in the residential customer count supported by strengthening wage and employment data is expected to have bolstered the Q3 bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Entergy’s third-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.67 per share, indicating an increase of 9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
