Eversource (ES) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2019 financial results on Feb 20. The utility delivered a positive earnings surprise of 4.3% in the last reported quarter.
Factors to Consider
Eversource’s fourth-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the temporary rate increase in New Hampshire and other rate hikes that came into effect during first-half 2019. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from lower interest rates, which in turn might have led to a reduction in capital servicing costs.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $2.23 billion and 78 cents, indicating 9.64% and 6.85% growth, respectively, from the year-ago reported figures.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Eversource this time around. A stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) to surpass estimates. That is not the case here as you will see below.
