Sunrun (RUN) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Sunrun Inc. RUN is slated to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 3 after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company witnessed a negative earnings surprise of 500.00%. Moreover, in the trailing four quarters, Sunrun delivered a negative earnings surprise of 245.00%, on average.

Factors to Note

The robust customer order growth driven by solid demand along with strong battery installations are anticipated to have boosted RUN’s top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

Also, the company’s partnership with Ford is expected to have added impetus to the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Additionally, the integration of Vivint Solar is also expected to have contributed to second-quarter revenues.

Considering all these factors, we remain optimistic about the company’s top line in the second quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $485 million, suggesting growth of 20.9% from the year-ago reported figure.

From the cost perspective, increasing prices across its markets have pushed up material costs as well as capital costs. This, in turn, may have adversely impacted its second-quarter earnings.

However, solid cost synergies from the Vivint Solar transaction are expected to have added impetus to its bottom line in the second quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RUN’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of 20 cents per share, suggesting a deterioration from the year-ago quarter’s reported loss figure of 14 cents.
