NextEra Energy (NEE) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 21, before the market opens. This utility delivered an earnings surprise of 2.5% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note
NextEra Energy’s first-quarter performance will likely reflect the benefits from an improvement in Florida’s economic conditions. NEE is expected to have benefited from the rate base settlement approved by the Florida Public Service Commission.
The expected increase in the Florida Power and Light arm’s customer base in the first quarter is expected to have boosted NextEra Energy’s performance. Smart investment in Gulf Power is likely to have lowered non-operating costs by a huge volume, thereby improving the reliability of operations and margins.
In fourth-quarter 2021, NextEra Energy’s management extended NEE’s debt maturity profile by more than six years, which in turn is expected to generate $30 million after-tax reduction in annual interest expense. This is expected to have boosted first-quarter earnings.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 68 cents per share and $5.2 billion, respectively. Earnings per share and revenue estimates indicate year-over-year growth of 1.49% and 39.64%, respectively.
