Evergy Inc. (EVRG - Free Report) is slated to release third-quarter 2022 financial results on Nov 4, before the market opens. Evergy’s earnings per share in the last reported quarter were on par with expectations.

Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.

Factors to Consider

Evergy’s third-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from warmer-than-normal weather, creating additional demand. The improved volumes and margins from transmission infrastructure investment are expected to have boosted earnings.

Evergy’s third-quarter earnings are likely to be impacted by higher D&A from increased infrastructure investment and higher interest expenses due to the addition of high-interest bearing debts.
