Phoenix, AZ-based Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (NYSE:PNW) , together with its subsidiaries, provides electricity services in the state of Arizona.

Pinnacle West’s continuous investment in traditional generation, transmission & distribution lines will boost its performance over the long run.

The gradual recovery in Arizona’s economy, decline in unemployment rates and increasing housing permits will boost demand going forward. However, stringent regulations and fluctuations in commodity price remain the concern.

Investors should note that the first quarter Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings of 15 cents per share decreased by a penny over the last 90 days.

Coming to the earnings surprise, Pinnacle West has missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, resulting in a negative average surprise of 20.27%
