Yahoo Finance Just Energy (JE) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Just Energy Group Inc. JE is set to report third-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Feb 10, before the market opens. This diversified utility delivered a positive earnings surprise of 400% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming earnings announcement.
Factors at Play
During the fiscal third quarter, Just Energy completed the previously announced sale of Hudson Energy Supply UK Limited (“Hudson UK”) to Shell Energy Retail Limited. This deal helped Just Energy to emphasize on its efforts to streamline the company and focus more on high-margin North American operations. This deal is likely to have positively impacted its performance. The company completed the sale of assets in Georgia and Irish business toward the end of the quarter.
Just Energy’s earnings in to-be-reported quarter are likely to have benefited from cost-saving initiatives undertaken by the company.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2020 is currently pegged at a loss of 1 cent, while the same for revenues is $564.4 million.
