PSEG (PEG) Set to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PEG - Free Report) , or PSEG, is slated to report its fourth-quarter and full-year 2022 results on Feb 21 before the opening bell.
Its bottom line outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.53%.
Factors to Note
In the fourth quarter of 2022, PSEG’s service territories witnessed warmer-than-normal temperatures. Such a weather pattern is expected to have contributed to the company’s fourth-quarter revenues, buoyed by the increased electricity demand for cooling purposes.
Additionally, some parts of its service territories experienced significant precipitation levels, resulting in wet weather conditions. Moreover, rate-based growth from regulated investments may have positively contributed to its fourth-quarter revenues.
However, its service territories were impacted by immense flooding conditions in the fourth quarter, which is likely to have disrupted the smooth flow of electricity to its customers. This may have negatively impacted the company’s fourth-quarter revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.18 billion, suggesting a decrease of 28.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Immense flooding conditions, as mentioned above, may have caused infrastructural damage for the utility, increasing the company’s operating expenses for restoration and repairing. This is likely to have weighed on its bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. However, lower operating & maintenance expenses and lower depreciation and interest expenses related to the Fossil divestiture may have benefited the bottom line in the fourth quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 63 cents per share, indicating a decline of 8.7% from the prior-year reported figure.
