Entergy Corp. (US29364G1031) held near $108 after its July 29, 2026 quarter, when the utility reported $1.03 in earnings per share on $3.52 billion in revenue and set 2026 guidance at 4.250-4.450 EPS.
Earnings still set the tone
The quarter topped consensus by $0.02 on EPS and exceeded revenue estimates of $3.49 billion, while the prior-year quarter posted $1.05 EPS. The setup gives investors a clear reference point: the shares are trading close to a recent close of $108.01 and remain well inside a 52-week range of $86.40 to $118.44.
Market value also stays substantial, with a market capitalization of $50.53 billion and a dividend yield of 2.4% tied to the latest quarterly payout of $0.64 a share.
Guidance stays explicit
Entergy's 2026 outlook still calls for $4.250-4.450 EPS, and that range gives the stock a concrete benchmark as analysts track how the rest of the year develops. On that same note, the company reported a 13.40% net margin and 10.53% return on equity in the same quarter.
For comparison, Entergy's quarterly revenue of $3.52 billion came in ahead of the $3.49 billion estimate, a $30 million beat that matters more than any broad utility-sector backdrop.
Power grid business
Entergy operates regulated electric utility businesses across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and southeast Texas, with generation spanning nuclear, natural gas and hydropower. That mix keeps the company tied to both customer demand and capital spending for transmission and distribution assets.
Shares and valuation
Entergy stock closed at $108.01 on August 19, 2026, with extended trading at $106.80 later that evening. The same snapshot showed a 50-day moving average of $111.78 and a 200-day moving average of $109.43, both above the last close.
