Read MoreHide Full Article

Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 2, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.5% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Exelon’s third-quarter earnings are expected to continue benefiting from its reduction in volumetric risk as nearly 73% of its distribution revenues are decoupled.

The company’s quarterly performance is also likely to have gained from new distribution rates that were implemented during the previous quarters in its service territories of Delmarva Power & Light Company, Commonwealth Edison Company and PECO Energy Company.

The company’s bottom line is also likely to have benefited from energy efficiency programs and cost-saving initiatives.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 68 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 9.3%.

The consensus mark for revenues is pinned at $4.96 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 2.4%.
