What Awaits Edison International (EIX) in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Edison International (EIX - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 results on Feb 22, after market close.
EIX has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 3.37%.
Factors to Note
In the to-be-reported quarter, EIX’s service territories witnessed a warmer-than-normal weather pattern accompanied by below normal precipitation. Such a weather pattern is likely to have increased the demand for electricity for cooling purposes, positively impacting the company’s overall revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.19 billion, indicating an improvement of 4.3% year over year.
Higher interest expenses might have hurt EIX's bottom-line performance. However, strong rate base growth and ongoing wildfire mitigation efforts are likely to have boosted Edison International’s overall earnings in the fourth quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.22 per share, indicating an improvement of 7% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
