What's in the Offing for Exelon (EXC) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2021 earnings on Aug 4, before the market opens. This utility delivered a negative earnings surprise of 7.04% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
With the rollout of vaccines and easing of restrictions, demand from commercial and industrial customers is expected to have benefited earnings in the second quarter. Demand from the residential group is expected to have remained stable, in turn boosting earnings.
Exelon’s nuclear plants’ high capacity factor and strong operation of fossil and renewable operations are likely to boost the upcoming results. Its cost-management program is also expected to support the results.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $7.76 billion and 66 cents, respectively. The estimated figures indicate an increase of 5.9% and 20%, respectively, from the year-ago reported numbers.
