PPL (PPL) is expected to report flat earnings compared to the year-ago quarter with higher revenues when it releases its Q2 2025 results on July 31. The stock may move higher if the key numbers top expectations, but a miss could result in a lower stock price. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has been revised 1.64% higher over the last 30 days.

PPL Corporation (PPL) is anticipated to deliver flat earnings compared to the year-ago quarter, with revenues expected to rise, according to analysts. The company is set to report its Q2 2025 results on July 31. The key numbers, including earnings per share (EPS) and revenue, will be closely watched by investors, as they could significantly impact the stock price.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PPL's EPS for the quarter is $0.38 per share, a figure that has been revised 1.64% higher over the last 30 days. This revision reflects the collective reassessment of analysts' initial estimates. While revenues are expected to be $1.99 billion, up 5.9% from the year-ago quarter, the earnings are expected to remain flat.

The Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have become more bearish on PPL's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) of -2.12%. The Zacks Rank for PPL is #3, which makes it difficult to predict a beat in earnings. However, PPL has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times over the last four quarters, indicating a history of strong earnings performance.

While earnings surprises can influence stock prices, other factors such as management's discussion on business conditions during the earnings call will also play a role in determining the stock's near-term performance. Investors should pay attention to these factors and consider PPL's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank before making investment decisions.

Entergy Corporation (ETR), another utility stock, is also expected to report its Q2 2025 results around the same time. Entergy's EPS estimate is $0.85, with a year-over-year change of -11.5% and a revenue estimate of $3.13 billion. Entergy has an Earnings ESP of +7.06%, suggesting a higher likelihood of beating the consensus EPS estimate, given its Zacks Rank of #3.
