Entergy Corp. stock (ISIN US29364G1031) is trading in the mid-USD 100s on the New York Stock Exchange as of September 10, 2026, leaving the shares comfortably within a documented 52-week trading range and underpinned by a multi-billion-dollar market capitalization in the regulated utilities segment.
Recent earnings and 2026 EPS guidance
According to MarketBeat in an overview dated September 10, 2026, Entergy last reported quarterly earnings for the utilities business with earnings per share of USD 1.03 for the most recent quarter, slightly above a consensus of USD 1.01 and illustrating a modest earnings beat on a per-share basis.
In that same quarterly snapshot for the period ending in mid-2026, revenue was reported at USD 3.52 billion versus a consensus estimate of USD 3.49 billion, meaning top-line performance exceeded analyst expectations by about USD 0.03 billion while supporting a net margin of 13.40 percent and a return on equity of 10.53 percent for the quarter.MarketBeat The EPS comparison with the prior-year quarter, where Entergy posted USD 1.05 per share, shows a slight decline of USD 0.02 despite the current-period beat versus consensus, highlighting that growth is driven more by incremental efficiency than by a strong year-on-year jump.
Dividend, payout and income profile
The same analyst-focused report notes that Entergy’s board maintained a quarterly dividend of USD 0.64 per share, which corresponds to an annualized payout of USD 2.56 and a dividend yield in the low single digits relative to the current share price.MarketBeat Based on the most recent figures, this payout translates into a dividend payout ratio of 65.64 percent, indicating that roughly two-thirds of reported earnings are distributed to shareholders, which is typical for mature regulated utilities but leaves a finite share of profits to fund capital expenditure and debt service.
Looking ahead to the current fiscal year 2026, Entergy has communicated guidance for full-year EPS in a corridor of USD 4.25 to USD 4.45, and the consensus compiled in the same overview points to about USD 4.40 EPS for the year.MarketBeat For investors, the comparison between the quarterly EPS of USD 1.03 and the full-year guidance band underscores that Entergy needs to maintain a similar run-rate through the remaining quarters to achieve the midpoint of its guidance, while the current dividend level implies continuing emphasis on income returns alongside regulated rate-base growth.
Analyst consensus, valuation and risk factors
Within the same data set, equities research firms collectively assign Entergy a consensus rating of Moderate Buy, with 17 Buy ratings and 3 Hold ratings, and an average price target of USD 120.84 on the stock.MarketBeat This average target situates the implied upside or downside relative to the current mid-100-dollar share price and signals that the utilities group is broadly viewed as a moderately attractive holding in the sector rather than as a deep value or high-growth outlier.
The same analyst summary notes individual actions such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. raising its price objective on Entergy from USD 129.00 to USD 139.00 in a research report dated July 16, 2026, coupled with an Overweight rating on the stock.MarketBeat The move from USD 129.00 to USD 139.00 represents an increase of USD 10.00 in the bank’s valuation framework and underlines how supportive views from large sell-side houses can reinforce the Moderate Buy consensus, although investors must weigh this against typical utilities-sector risks such as regulatory changes, rate cases and capital-intensive grid investments.
Stock price level and trading range
Price data from utilities-sector overviews place Entergy Corp. stock around USD 106.40 with a modest daily loss of 0.72 percent on September 10, 2026, for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, pointing to a slight pullback from recent levels while leaving the shares within their 12-month performance band.Investing.com For context, that level sits inside a documented 52-week span that stretches from the mid-USD 90s at the low end to the high-USD 120s at the top, highlighting that the current quote is closer to the middle of the range than to either extreme.
At roughly USD 106.40 per share and a market capitalization measured in the tens of billions of USD as of September 10, 2026, Entergy trades at a valuation that blends its regulated earnings base, dividend yield of about 2.4 percent and leverage profile in the utilities industry.MarketBeat For income-focused investors, the combination of a stable EPS trajectory toward the USD 4.25 to USD 4.45 guidance band and a payout ratio of about 65.64 percent is central to judging whether the current share price around the midpoint of the 52-week band appropriately compensates for regulatory and interest-rate risks.
