Entergy ( (ETR) ) has issued an announcement.
On April 29, 2026, Entergy reported first quarter 2026 earnings of $385 million, or $0.83 per share as reported, and $399 million, or $0.86 per share on an adjusted basis, modestly higher than the same period in 2025. Utility earnings rose to $540 million, driven by favorable regulatory actions and returns on construction work in progress, partly offset by higher interest, depreciation and amortization costs, while Parent & Other posted a larger loss including a non-cash impairment tied to the expected sale of a non-utility interest in the Independence power plant.
The company affirmed its 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $4.25 to $4.45 and highlighted a series of regulatory and project milestones across its service territories, including approval of the 600 MW Arkansas Cypress Solar project with 350 MW of storage and progress on rate and cost recovery filings in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Entergy also underscored strategic momentum with a new 20-year electric service agreement for Meta’s Evest subsidiary in Louisiana and marked 25 years of its Environmental Initiative Fund, which has invested nearly $45 million in environmentally beneficial projects, reinforcing its long-term growth and clean energy positioning for customers and stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (ETR) stock is a Buy with a $124.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Entergy stock, see the ETR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on ETR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ETR is a Neutral.
The score is driven by constructive earnings-call fundamentals (multi-year >8% EPS growth target supported by industrial/data-center demand and a large capital plan) and strong technical uptrend signals. Offsetting these positives are weaker financial quality factors—persistently negative free cash flow and high leverage—and a valuation that looks relatively rich for a regulated utility, with momentum indicators also suggesting the stock is near-term overbought.
