Read MoreHide Full Article

Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2022 earnings on Nov 3. The utility delivered an average negative earnings surprise of 2.76% for the last four reported quarters.

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

Factors to Note

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

Exelon’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from new electric and gas rates effective in PECO Energy Company’s service territories.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $5.01 billion and 72 cents, respectively. The bottom-line and top-line projections indicate a decline of 33.9% and 43.8%, respectively, from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
