Read MoreHide Full Article
IDACORP Inc. (IDA - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2021 earnings on Feb 17 before market open. IDACORP delivered a negative earnings surprise of 3.50% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Consider
IDACORP expects to see an increase in the commercial and industrial customer base due to its ability to provide affordable electricity in the Idaho Power service area, which is likely to have boosted revenues in the fourth quarter.
Effective cost management, an improvement in economic conditions and a drop in the unemployment rate in its service territories are likely to have generated fresh demand for IDA and provided ample support to drive the performance in the fourth quarter.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 67 cents per share, indicating a decline of 9.46% from the year-ago reported figure. Considering the full-year guidance provided by IDACORP, fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) are expected in the range of 60-70 cents.
