Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors to Note
Repurchase of shares in 2020 and the resultant reduction of shares outstanding are likely to have positively impacted Dominion Energy’s third-quarter earnings. Regulated earnings growth is likely to have boosted its performance in the third quarter.
Dominion Energy’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have been adversely impacted by COVID deferred operating and maintenance expenses along with an increase in financing costs.
Expectation
Dominion Energy expects third-quarter earnings in the range of 95 cents to $1.10 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $1.06 per share, indicating a decline of 1.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
