Eversource Energy (ES) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2021 financial results on Feb 17. The utility delivered a negative earnings surprise of 2.9% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Eversource Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from higher contributions from transmission and distribution businesses due to systematic investments in transmission and distribution facilities.
Contribution from the water distribution business is likely to have been lower in the fourth quarter, primarily due to the absence of the Hingham, Massachusetts water system that Eversource sold at the end of July 2020.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues and earnings per share is pegged at $2.49 billion and 93 cents, indicating 11.5% and 9.4% growth, respectively, from the year-ago reported figures.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Eversource Energy this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is the case here as you will see below.
