Pinnacle West (PNW) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (PNW - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 21, 2020, before the opening bell. The company has trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 0.95%, on average.
Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
Pinnacle West Capital has operations in the Metro Phoenix area, which continues to show strong economic activities and job growth. Solid job growth as well as increased housing permits and single-family permits is likely to have boosted the company’s services in the fourth quarter.
The results of fourth quarter are likely to have impacted by the unfavorable weather condition. October sales were also below expectations due to milder-than-normal weather that are likely to have had a negative impact on fourth-quarter performance. Moreover, planned outage of Palo Verde unit 3 is likely to have lowered production in the fourth quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 47 cents per share, which indicates a surge of 104.35% on a year-over-year basis.
