Eversource Energy to Release Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2025 results on May 1, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.02% in the last reported quarter. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Key Factors That Might Have Impacted ES' Q1 Performance
Eversource Energy’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from its focus on being a pure-play regulated utility to enable clean energy transition for customers.
The quarterly earnings are also likely to have benefited from new electric and gas rates (in ES’ Massachusetts region), which became effective in January 2025 and November 2024, respectively.
The bottom line is also expected to have gained from increased transmission investments, which should have enhanced service reliability. Lower operation and maintenance expenses and capital recovery mechanisms are likely to have had a positive impact on quarterly earnings.
However, higher depreciation and property taxes from increased investments, an increase in interest expenses and higher effective tax rate are anticipated to have negatively impacted the company’s overall quarterly performance.
Q1 Expectations for ES
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.50 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 0.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $3.65 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 9.6%.
