Ameren (AEE) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ameren Corporation (AEE - Free Report) is slated to release its third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 8 before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 15.38%. Ameren has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8.86%, on average.
Factors to Note
Most of AEE’s service territories observed warm weather conditions in the third quarter. This may have increased the electricity demand for cooling purposes from the company’s customers during summer. This is likely to have contributed to Ameren's top line in the third quarter.
Strong rate-based growth, fueled by increased investments in its infrastructure in prior quarters, may have aided its top line in the third quarter.
Solid top-line growth is likely to have driven the bottom line of the company in the third quarter. Also, returns from investments in infrastructure and a disciplined cost management strategy may have added impetus to its overall third-quarter earnings.
Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AEE’s third-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.37 billion. This suggests 2.9% growth from the year-ago quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.80 per share. This indicates an increase of 3.5% from the prior-year reported figure.
