Read MoreHide Full Article
Evergy, Inc. (EVRG - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter 2021 results on May 6, before the market opens. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 40%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Steady demand from residential customers and gradual reopening of economic activities are likely to have increased the demand from commercial and industrial customers. Consequently, results for the first quarter are also likely to get a boost.
Evergy’s cost-management initiatives and extreme cold weather conditions in its service territories during February are likely to have positively impacted first-quarter earnings.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 47 cents, indicating a 14.6% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
