Read MoreHide Full Article
American States Water (AWR - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2023 earnings on Feb 21 after market close. The company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 3.66% in the last quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors at Play
American States Water’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from ongoing investments to strengthen the operation and implementation of new rates in its service territories.
The still high interest rates are likely to have increased overall borrowing costs in the fourth quarter and offset some upsides.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus for American States Water’s earnings is pegged at 0.53 cents per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 6%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter sales stands at $132 million, suggesting an increase of 5.29% from the year-ago reported number.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for AWR this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here, as you will see below.
