What's in Store for Consolidated Edison (ED) in Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Consolidated Edison Inc. (ED - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 4, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 14.52%. Consolidated Edison came up with a four-quarter average negative earnings surprise of 1.80%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
During most parts of the third quarter, the majority of Consolidated Edison’s service territories witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures, accompanied by heavy rainfall in some parts. Such weather patterns are expected to have boosted electricity demand in the third quarter, which must have contributed to the company’s revenue growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.47 billion, which indicates a 4.1% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Some parts of Consolidated Edison’s service territories suffered from flash floods, accompanied by heavy rainfall and even a hurricane during the third quarter. These might have damaged some of this utility’s properties, thereby hampering smooth electricity flow and pushing up expenses for restoration work. This might have had an adverse impact on its quarterly earnings performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.44 per share, indicating a 2.7% decrease from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
