Evergy to Release Q1 Earnings: Here's What You Need to Know
Read MoreHide Full Article
Evergy (EVRG - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2025 results on May 8, before market open. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 2.8% 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.
Major Factors That Might Have Impacted EVRG's Q1 Earnings
Evergy’s quarterly earnings are expected to have benefited from ongoing investments targeted toward grid modernization and improvement in service reliability. The bottom line is likely to have gained from energy efficiency programs and cost-saving initiatives.
The company is also projected to have continued to benefit from economic development in its service territories and consequent growth in demand. Earnings are also expected to have gained from the growing demand from data centers.
In March 2025, the blizzard and high winds caused significant damage, such as downed wires across Evergy's service area, resulting in power outages for its customers. This might have resulted in higher operating expenses to restore the power, offsetting some of the positives in the first quarter.
Higher depreciation and interest expenses are likely to have adversely impacted the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
EVRG’s Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 66 cents per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 22.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $1.41 billion, indicating an increase of 6.2% from the year-ago reported figure.
