Yahoo Finance What's in Store for NextEra Energy Partners (NEP) in Q1 Earnings?
NextEra Energy Partners, LP NEP is scheduled to release first-quarter 2024 results on Apr 23, before market open. The firm delivered a negative earnings surprise of 1,266.7% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
The firm’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the continued expansion of its high-quality portfolio of renewable energy sources. In December 2023, NextEra Energy Partners completed the sale of its Texas natural gas pipeline portfolio, which helped it to become a pure-play investment opportunity in 100% renewable energy.
The firm continues to enjoy structural tax advantages and is not likely to pay meaningful U.S. taxes for at least 15 years. This might have also boosted its earnings in the to-be-reported quarter.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NextEra Energy Partners’ earnings is pegged at 17 cents per unit, implying a year-over-year increase of 200%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $346.2 million, indicating a 15% improvement year over year.
