Evergy (EVRG) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Evergy, Inc. (EVRG - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 5, before the market opens. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 17%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Evergy is likely to have witnessed consistent growth in demand from the residential space along with improvement from the commercial and industrial customers during the to-be-reported quarter. The company’s cost-management initiatives might also benefit its results. Besides, a steady rise in customer volumes and efforts to enhance the reliability of its services are likely to positively impact the upcoming release.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 74 cents, indicating an 8.8% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Quantitative Model Prediction
