Read MoreHide Full Article
NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 8, before market open. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 4.44% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
During the first quarter, NRG Energy had completed the acquisition of Vivint Smart Home, which is expected to have further enhanced NRG’s earnings and boosted customer base in the second quarter. Strong consumer patterns are expected to have benefited the company’s quarterly results.
NRG Energy’s earnings are likely to have benefited from the recurring synergies from Direct Energy Integration. The company’s debt reduction initiatives might have benefited its bottom-line performance.
NRG is also expected to have gained from the ongoing share repurchases that might have reduced its outstanding shares and boosted earnings.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.07 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 224.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $4.52 billion, implying a year-over-year decrease of 37.9%.

Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is -28.04%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
