Ameren (AEE) Set to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ameren Corporation (AEE - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 4.
Its bottom line outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 0.36%.
Factors to Note
Ameren’s operational regions witnessed wet weather conditions, accompanied by strong winds and tornados, in the second quarter. Such weather conditions are expected to have generated a mixed impact on the company’s second-quarter revenues since wet weather might have boosted demand, while tornedos might have caused outages.
The strong rate-based growth, supported by the strategic allocation of infrastructure investment across all its business segments, might have aided the overall revenues of AEE.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.53 billion, suggesting growth of 4% from the year-ago quarter.
From the cost perspective, higher operations and maintenance expenses, driven partly by unfavorable market returns, might have dampened the bottom line of the company in the quarter. However, solid revenue growth as well as returns from investments in infrastructure and wind generation might have aided the overall second-quarter earnings performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 81 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 1.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Ameren Corporation this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESPand 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: AEE’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.
