Read MoreHide Full Article
Alliant Energy Corporation (LNT - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter financial results on Feb 23, after market close. The company had delivered a negative earnings surprise of 10.58% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Alliant Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have gained from investment earnings in clean electricity generation, battery storage projects and higher electric and gas sales.
Higher depreciation and interest expenses are likely to have offset some positives during the yet-to-be reported quarter.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Alliant Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 48 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 37.14%.
Quantitative Model Prediction
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Alliant 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 not the case here as you will see below.
