In the last reported quarter, the company posted a negative earnings surprise of 5.71%. However, PCG delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 3.31%.
Let’s take a closer look at the factors that are likely to be reflected in PG&E’s upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note Ahead of PCG’s Q2 Earnings
During the second quarter, PCG’s service territories observed warmer-than-normal temperature patterns. This is likely to have boosted demand for electricity from the company’s customers for cooling purposes this spring, which, in turn, must have bolstered PG&E’s revenues.
Strong rate-based growth and favorable outcomes from PCG’s earlier approved general rate case filings are also likely to have aided second-quarter revenue performance.
Solid sales growth expectations, along with PCG’s efforts to reduce its non-fuel operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, might have boosted the company’s second-quarter earnings.
PCG’s Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $6.37 billion, which indicates year-over-year growth of 6.4%.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 33 cents, which calls for a year-over-year rise of 6.5%.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for PCG
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for PG&E this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
