Avangrid (AGR) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Avangrid, Inc. (AGR - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2024 results on Jul 23, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 23.94% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Avangrid has commissioned 10 Vineyard Wind 1 turbines in its offshore wind farm now producing 136 MW. The company added five turbines toward the end of the second-quarter 2024, which are likely to have provided a small benefit in the quarter.
In the quarter, the company acquired a state-of-the-art mobile transformer that can be quickly deployed and enables the company to resolve outages in the event of a damaged transformer in a couple of months compared with the two-year lead time for a replacement transformer. The new acquisition has boosted the resiliency and reliability of the company’s onshore portfolio.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 27 cents per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 28.6%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $1.72 billion, implying an improvement of 8.32% from the year-ago levels.

Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
