Avangrid Earnings Preview

Avangrid AGR announces its next round of earnings this Tuesday, July 20. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Tuesday's Q2 earnings announcement.

Net Income, Earnings, And Earnings Per Share

Earnings and especially earnings per share (EPS) are useful measures of a company's profitability. Total earnings, which is also referred to as net income, equals total revenue minus total expenses. EPS equals to net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Earnings And Revenue

Analysts covering Avangrid modeled for quarterly EPS of $0.41 on revenue of $1.52 billion. In the same quarter last year, Avangrid reported EPS of $0.32 on revenue of $1.39 billion.

Why Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises Are Important

Analysts who cover this company will publish forward-looking estimates of its revenue and EPS each quarter. Averaging together every EPS and revenue prediction that each analyst makes about a company in a quarter yields the "consensus estimates." A company posting earnings or revenue above or below the consensus estimate is known as an "earnings surprise" and may move the stock by a considerable margin.

The Wall Street estimate would represent a 28.12% increase in the company's earnings. Revenue would be up 9.2% from the year-ago period. Here is how the company's EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q1 2021 Q4 2020 Q3 2020 Q2 2020
EPS Estimate 0.74 0.57 0.41 0.34
EPS Actual 1.14 0.62 0.32 0.32
Revenue Estimate 1.81 B 1.70 B 1.52 B 1.45 B
Revenue Actual 1.97 B 1.67 B 1.47 B 1.39 B
