Entergy shares climbed after the company signed another major deal with Meta to back a new hyperscale data center in Northeast Louisiana, highlighting robust data-center power demand and long-term nuclear growth prospects. The agreement, fully paid for by Meta, is expected to generate about $2B in customer savings over 20 years, on top of $650M previously announced for a total of roughly $2.65B.
Following the news, analysts boosted their price targets on Entergy, pointing to the stable, utility-like revenues from powering Meta’s large-scale facilities and the added value of the company’s nuclear fleet. Investors see these long-term contracts as strengthening Entergy’s earnings visibility, which could support further upside in the stock over time.
