Dominion Energy (D) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dominion Energy Inc. (D - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2023 earnings on Aug 4, before market open. In the last reported quarter, the utility delivered an earnings surprise of 1.02%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Dominion Energy’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from regulated investments, higher sales volume and efficient cost management. During the quarter, Dominion Energy started hydrogen blending projects in Utah and Ohio to assist in reducing emissions.
However, extremely mild weather conditions in the company's electric service regions (compared with the 15-year average) are anticipated to have reduced operating earnings by 7-9 cents per share in the second quarter.
The planned outage of Millstone Power Station Unit 2 lasted longer than expected and Millstone Power Station Unit 3 had an automatic reactor trip, both of which had an adverse impact on earnings in the second quarter.
Expectations
Dominion Energy lowered its earnings expectations to a range of 44-50 cents per share from an earlier announced range of 58-68 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at 48 cents, indicating a decline of 37.66% from the year-ago reported figure.
