Eversource Energy to Post Q3 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2024 results on Nov. 4, after market close. The company’s earnings were in line with estimates in the last reported quarter.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Key Factors That Might Have Impacted ES' Q3 Performance
The bottom line is expected to have benefited from the completed sale of its 50% ownership share in the 924-megawatt Sunrise Wind project to Ørsted, in July 2024. The company is committed to exiting the offshore wind business and focusing its resources on being a pure play regulated utility with tremendous low-risk regulated growth opportunities to enable the clean energy transition for customers.
Electric distribution earnings are expected to have been higher in the third quarter, driven by capital cost recovery and New Hampshire's $61 million interim rate increase effective Aug. 1, 2024.
The bottom line is also expected to have gained from increased investments, which should have enhanced service reliability. Lower operation and maintenance expenses and lower effective tax rates are likely to have had a positive impact on quarterly earnings.
However, higher depreciation and property taxes from increased investments are anticipated to have negatively impacted the company’s overall quarterly performance.
Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.04 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 7.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $3.05 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 9.3%.
