What's in Store for Edison International (EIX) in Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Edison International (EIX - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 3 after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 10.48%. Edison International has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 1.35%, on average.
Factors to Note
The majority of the company’s service territories witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures, accompanied by dry weather conditions, during the first quarter of 2022. This is likely to have boosted electricity demand for cooling purposes among the company’s customers, which must have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter's top line.
Meanwhile, the recent increase in commercial and industry load, buoyed by the recovery in economic activities witnessed in the past few months, may also have contributed to Edison International’s first-quarter top line. Further, higher revenues from the 2021 general rate case (GRC) final decision must have bolstered the company’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.12 billion, suggesting growth of 5.4% from the year-ago quarter.
California is a wildfire-prone region, wherein Edison International operates. In the first quarter, the company’s service area did experience some wildfire events. This might have caused power outages for its customers, apart from causing structural damage to its electric poles and associated infrastructure. Costs bore by the company to restore power and mend its infrastructure in such wildfire-stricken areas might have had an adverse impact on its Q1 earnings.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at 74 cents per share, indicating a decline of 6.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
