Vistra (VST) Set to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vistra (VST - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 5. The utility reported a negative earnings surprise of 84.5%, on average, for the last four quarters.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Vistra’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from the stable performance of its retail segment and an increase in customer volumes in Texas, boosting demand.
Vistra has been continuing to buy back shares through its share repurchase program and has repurchased 54 million shares since November 2021. More than a 10.5% reduction in shares outstanding is expected to have a positive impact on the company's earnings.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 17 cents. The bottom-line projection indicates a year-over-year increase of 70%.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Vistra this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is not the case here, as you will see below.
