Utilities Earnings Estimates/Revisions

In the spreadsheet above I have tracked the earnings estimates for the Utilities Sector ETF (XLU) top weighted stocks.

The column under the date 11/5/2024 has a letter that represents the movement in 2025 earnings estimates since the most recent print (9/6/2024). “U” means 2025 estimates are UP in the last 60 days. “D” means 2025 estimates are DOWN in the last 60 days. “S” means 2025 estimates have remained the SAME in the last 60 days. The column entitled “1yr Target Est” is the Wall Street consensus 12 month price target for each stock.

What this table is telling us is that estimates are relatively flat. More estimates went DOWN in the past 60 days than came UP – The Up:Down ratio was 9:11. The rest remained the same.

The cumulative 2025 earnings power of these stocks was revised UP by +0.41% in the past 60 days.
