Read MoreHide Full Article

Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2022 earnings on Nov 3, before market open. Eversource Energy delivered an earnings surprise of 2.4% in the last reported quarter.

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

Factors to Consider

Eversource Energy’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from organic growth and systematic investment in its transmission and distribution facilities, resulting in a higher contribution.

Third-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from the complete integration of Massachusetts natural gas assets of Columbia Gas in its system. The new equity issuance might have a dilutive impact on third-quarter earnings.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.03 per share, indicating a nearly 1% rise from the year-ago reported figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales is pegged at $2.72 billion, indicating a nearly 10.4% rise from the year-ago reported figure.
