Ormat Technologies Inc reports results for the quarter ended September 30 - Earnings Summary

What happened

Ormat Technologies reported adjusted earnings of 56 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, up from 41 cents a year earlier and above the 36-cent analyst expectation. Revenue rose 10.2% to $275.12 million, exceeding the $248.39 million expected; reported earnings per share were 51 cents, and net income was $31.91 million.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Higher revenue and earnings than analysts expected can strengthen confidence in Ormat’s ability to generate income from its operations. If that performance continues, it could support future investment or cash available to shareholders; the report alone does not establish whether these results will persist.

Analyst inference

Analyst earnings estimates had risen about 44.9% over three months, with no negative revisions in the last 30 days. The average rating was “buy,” while shares were up 3.0% this quarter but down 14.7% so far this year.

Confirmed
