Alliant Energy (LNT) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alliant Energy (LNT - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2023 earnings on Nov 2, after market close. This firm pulled off an earnings surprise of 8.47% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Alliant Energy’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from the execution of capital expenditure plans and reduction in operation and maintenance costs.
During most of the third quarter, LNT’s service territories experienced a warmer-than-normal weather pattern accompanied by drought-like conditions. This is expected to have boosted electricity demand among the company’s customers for cooling purposes, thereby favorably contributing to its third-quarter top-line performance.
However, higher interest and depreciation costs might have offset some positives in the to-be-reported quarter.
Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 92 cents. The bottom-line figure indicates a decrease of 1.1% from the year-ago quarter.
The same for revenues stands at $1.25 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 10.1%.
