The company delivered an earnings surprise of 3.42% in the last reported quarter. DTE also holds a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 9.74%. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to affect the upcoming quarterly results.
DTE’s service areas experienced below-normal temperature patterns, accompanied by moderate-to-heavy snowfall, for the first two months of the January-March quarter. However, some of its territories witnessed above-average temperature patterns in March. The below-normal weather pattern is likely to have boosted electricity demand from DTE’s customers for heating purposes this winter. Meanwhile, the above-average temperature pattern might have hurt the same. So, the overall impact of weather on the company’s quarterly revenues can be expected to have been mostly favorable.
However, some parts of its service areas witnessed ice storms, along with freezing rain and heavy snowfall in March, which are likely to have caused outages for some of DTE’s customers. Such outages are likely to have hurt the company’s overall top-line performance.
Solid sales growth expectations, along with cost reduction initiatives, are likely to have boosted the company’s earnings growth. However, the aforementioned adverse weather conditions are likely to have caused damage to some of DTE’s infrastructure, pushing up its operating expenses for restoration. This, along with higher rate base costs, is likely to have adversely impacted the overall bottom-line performance to some extent.
DTE’s Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DTE’s sales is pegged at $3.47 billion, which indicates year-over-year growth of 7.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.98 per share, which calls for a year-over-year rise of 18.6%.
