Brookfield Renewable (BEP) Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2018 results on Feb 8, before market opens. In the last reported quarter, the company reported negative earnings surprise of 200%.
Let’s see how things are holding up prior to the announcement.
Factors to Consider
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $756 million, reflecting an increase of 15.1% year over year. Also, the consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 2 cents, against a loss of 22 cents in the year ago quarter.
In the third quarter, the Partnership commissioned a 28-megawatt (MW) wind farm in Ireland. Also, it made progress with additional 19 MW of wind in Scotland, 49 MW of small hydro in Brazil and a 63 MW expansion of a pumped storage facility in the United States. Brookfield Renewable expects these projects to contribute $17 million to FFO on an annualized basis starting in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. Price and EPS Surprise
Our proven model does not show that Brookfield Renewable is likely to beat estimates in the upcoming quarterly results. That is because a stock needs to have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is 0.00%.
We caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 and 5 (Sell rated) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.

Investors may consider the following companies from the same industry that have the right combination of elements to beat estimates in the quarter to be reported:
Ameren Corporation (AEE - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.68% and a Zacks Rank #1. The company is expected to release fourth-quarter 2018 earnings on Feb 14.
ALLETE Inc (ALE - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.26% and carries a Zacks Rank #2. The company is slated to report fourth-quarter 2018 results on Feb 14.
