DTE Energy (DTE) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
DTE Energy Company (DTE - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 10 before market open.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 6.01%. The company boasts a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 9.05%.
Let's take a closer look at the factors that are likely to get reflected in DTE Energy’s upcoming results.
Factors to Consider
In November and December, the company’s service territories witnessed cooler-than-normal temperatures accompanied by above-average snowfall. This is likely to have boosted electricity demand for heating purposes among the company’s customers, thereby boosting its top line in the fourth quarter.
However, in October, an above-average warm weather pattern accompanied by a serious drought condition in some parts of its service territories might have hurt its quarterly revenues. Therefore, the overall impact of temperature on DTE’s fourth-quarter revenues seems to have been mixed.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.18 billion, indicating a 3.3% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
From the cost perspective, higher operating and manufacturing expenses and rate-based growth costs may have negatively impacted the bottom line of DTE Energy in the fourth quarter. However, a $50-million favorable reversal related to tax timing adjustments for the first three quarters is expected to have added impetus to its bottom line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DTE Energy’s fourth-quarter earningsis pegged at 94 cents per share, suggesting a 32.4% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
