Read MoreHide Full Article

AVANGRID, Inc. (AGR - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2023 results on Feb 21, after market close. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 35.7% in the last reported quarter.

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

Factors to Consider

During the third quarter, AVANGRID reached a milestone of 8.6-gigawatt wind and solar capacity, which is enough to power more than 2.8 million homes. This achievement is expected to have contributed in the company’s fourth-quarter earnings.

AGR’s new rate case approval is expected to have a positive impact on its fourth-quarter overall performance.

AVANGRID’s fourth-quarter overall results are likely to gain from higher production and lower operation and maintenance costs. 

Q4 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 94 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 141%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $2.42 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 12%.
