Read MoreHide Full Article

Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is expected to release second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 3. The utility delivered an average negative earnings surprise of 7.73% for the last four reported quarters.

Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.

Factors to Note

Exelon’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from cost management, strong demand from commercial and industrial customers, and decoupled distribution rates, which reduce volumetric risk.

Exelon’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefitted from new rates effective in service territories of its unit, Commonwealth Edison, PECO Energy Company and Atlantic City Electric.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $4.12 billion and 46 cents, respectively. The bottom-line projection indicates a decline of 48.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure and the top-line estimate suggests a 47.9% year-over-year decline.
