Read MoreHide Full Article

Exelon Corporation (EXC - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2023 results on May 3, before market open. The company’s prior quarter's earnings were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Exelon’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the implementation of new distribution rates at its DPL, ComEd and PECO segments.

The bottom line is also likely to have gained from a reduction in volumetric risk as more than 73% of volumes are decoupled.

Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Exelon’s earnings is pegged at 66 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 3.13%.

The same for revenues is pinned at $5.52 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 3.6%.
