This utility company delivered an earnings surprise of 16.19% in the last reported quarter.
The company’s trailing four-quarter earnings surprise is 4.13%, on average. Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to affect the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider Ahead of EIX's Upcoming Results
EIX’s service territories experienced above-normal temperature patterns for the majority of the third quarter. This is likely to have boosted electricity demand from its customers for cooling purposes this summer, which is expected to have contributed favorably to its quarterly revenues.
Also, higher revenues authorized in Track 4 of the 2021 General Rate Case approval are anticipated to have added an impetus to the company’s revenues.
However, a series of heatwaves caused a few notable wildfires, like the Thompson and Park fires, during the months of July and August in California, which are likely to have caused outages for some of EIX’s customers as well as damaged its infrastructure. Such outages are expected to have partially hurt the overall top-line performance.
Solid revenue expectations and an increase in the authorized rate of return resulting from the cost of capital adjustment mechanism are likely to have boosted EIX’s bottom-line growth. However, high-interest expenses, increased operating expenses projected for the restoration of its infrastructure in connection to the aforementioned wildfire and notable charges for wildfire-related claims, net of insurance recoveries, are expected to have partially hurt the overall earnings performance.
Q3 Expectations for EIX
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EIX’s sales is pegged at $4.71 billion, which indicates an increase of 0.2% from the year-ago number.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.43 per share, which implies an improvement of 3.6% from the prior-year quarter.
