Eversource Energy (ES) to Report Q4 Earnings: What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2022 financial results on Feb 14, before market open. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 1.94% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Eversource Energy’s fourth-quarter results are expected to benefit from new rates becoming effective during the quarter, which might have boosted its earnings.
Eversource Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from acquisition of The Torrington Water Company, that has expanded its water business and added new customers, thus boosting demand for water services.
However, Eversource Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have been adversely impacted by higher operation and maintenance expenses.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 95 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decline of 4.4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.67 billion, implying a year-over-year decline of 7.4%.
