Sunrun Inc. RUN is slated to report third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 1 after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company witnessed an earnings surprise of 173.53%.
Factors to Note
The increased adoption of storage solutions and the surge in the customer base, along with net subscriber values backed by growing solar demand in recent times, are likely to have boosted Sunrun’s revenues.
Moreover, Sunrun’s exclusive partnership with PG&E Corp., called Peak Power Rewards, is likely to boost customer growth, thereby bolstering the company’s revenues in the third quarter.
However, a reduction in solar energy capacity installation is likely to have been witnessed in the third quarter, mainly due to an expected decline in California order volumes. This is likely to have unfavorably impacted RUN’s top line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $559.7 million. This suggests a decline of 11.4% from the year-ago reported figure.
From the cost perspective, easing supply-chain conditions and substantial cost reductions across its key hardware components may have contributed to its third-quarter bottom line. The Shift product offering is likely to have aided Sunrun’s overall margins, thus boosting its bottom line.
However, higher interest costs and inflationary pressures may have weighed on its earnings performance in the third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RUN’s third-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of 5 cents per share. This suggests a significant deterioration from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 96 cents.
