PNM Resources (PNM) to Report Q4 Earnings: What’s in Store?


PNM Resources Inc.


PNM

is scheduled to release

fourth-quarter 2021

earnings on Feb 3, before the market opens.

Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.

Factors to Note

Higher transmission margins and demand from customers added in the first nine months of 2021 are expected to have boosted the performance in the fourth quarter. The ongoing recovery in economic conditions in PNM Resources’ service territories and an increase in commercial activities are likely to have supported fourth-quarter results.

PNM Resources’ fourth-quarter earnings are likely to be diluted due to additional outstanding shares.

Expectation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 15 cents per share, which is on par with the year-ago reported figure.
