Evergy (EVRG) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Evergy Inc. (EVRG - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2022 financial results on Feb 24, before market open. Evergy’s earnings per share in the last reported quarter were 6.4% better than expectations.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Consider
Evergy’s fourth-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the new rates that became effective in Missouri during the last month of the quarter. In addition, the higher transmission margins are expected to boost fourth-quarter earnings.
However, higher interest expenses are likely to offset some positives.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2022 earnings per share is pegged at 22 cents, indicating an increase of 37.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2022 revenues is pegged at $1.16 billion, indicating an increase of 3.39% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
