Shares of Clearway Energy Inc (NYSE: CWEN) experienced a sharp pre-market drop of 6.36% on Tuesday, November 6th, as investors reacted to concerns raised about the quality and sustainability of the company's recently reported earnings.
While Clearway Energy reported robust earnings results, a closer analysis by market analysts revealed several factors that may have inflated the company's reported profits. According to the analysis, the earnings included a $26 million expense attributed to unusual items, which temporarily reduced profitability.
Additionally, the company received a $39 million tax benefit that boosted its bottom line. However, such tax benefits are often one-time occurrences and may not be repeated in the future, potentially leading to a subsequent drop in reported profits.
