Read MoreHide Full Article

NextEra Energy Partners (NEP - Free Report) is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter 2022 financial results on Jan 25, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 47.62% in the last reported quarter.

Factors to Consider

During the third quarter, NextEra Energy Partners closed the previously announced acquisition of a 67% interest in a 230 MW, 4-hour battery storage project in California, which boosted the firm’s renewable operation and is likely to have contributed to its fourth-quarter earnings.

The firm continues to enjoy structural tax advantages and is not expected to pay meaningful U.S. taxes for at least 15 years, which is expected to have boosted its fourth-quarter earnings.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 52 cents per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 533.33%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $313.13 million, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 34.97%.
