What's in the Offing for Sempra Energy (SRE) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Sempra Energy (SRE - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 4 before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company reported an earnings surprise of 1.75%. Sempra Energy has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 2.80%, on average.
Factors to Note
During the second quarter, Sempra Energy’s service territories witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures. This, in turn, is likely to have boosted the electricity demand for cooling purposes among the company’s customers. Furthermore, SRE’s service territories experienced wet weather conditions in the second quarter.
However, some parts of its service territories experienced severe weather conditions along with torrential rains, which may have dampened the smooth flow of electricity to its customers, thus impacting the overall revenues of the company in the second quarter of 2022.
Hence, the impact of weather patterns on the company’s second-quarter revenues can be considered to have been mixed.
Meanwhile, the new and active requests for transmission interconnections in Oncor are expected to have added impetus to Sempra Energy’s second-quarter top line. Also, a positive impact of the rate revision might have positively contributed to the second-quarter revenue performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.03 billion, suggesting growth of 10.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
From the cost perspective, the aforementioned severe weather conditions might have caused infrastructural damage, thus increasing the operating expenses of the company to repair the same. This, in turn, might have impacted the bottom line in the second quarter.
However, factors like increased revenues from rate updates reflecting increased invested capital, higher customer consumption and customer growth must have benefited overall second-quarter earnings.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.82 per share, indicating growth of 11.7% from the prior-year reported figure.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for SRE this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
