NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) Partners, LP NEP is scheduled to release third-quarter 2021 earnings on Oct 20, before market open. The partnership delivered a negative earnings surprise of 244.8% in the last-reported quarter.
Let’s focus on the factors that might have impacted the firm’s earnings in the September quarter.
Factors to Consider
NextEra Energy Partners’ access to new renewable assets from third parties and Energy Resources is expected to have acted as a tailwind for its third-quarter performance. The firm is likely to have benefited from its low-cost convertible equity products, which continue to lower its cost of capital.
The firm’s strong control over wind and solar assets' operating and maintenance expenses is expected to benefit results in the third quarter.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 58 cents per unit and $342.34 million, respectively. The projected revenues indicate a rise of 42.6%, while earnings per share suggest a decline of 28.7% from the year-ago reported number.
