Entergy stock (ISIN US29364G1058) is backed by second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 3.52 billion and diluted EPS of USD 1.03. The utility also reaffirmed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 4.25-4.45, giving investors two concrete benchmarks ahead of the next results cycle.

Q2 results beat estimates

Entergy reported its Q2 figures on July 29, 2026. According to MarketBeat, EPS of USD 1.03 exceeded the USD 1.01 consensus by USD 0.02, while revenue of USD 3.52 billion topped the USD 3.49 billion estimate by USD 0.03 billion.

The comparison with the prior-year quarter is more cautious: EPS was USD 1.05 in the same period a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. The latest quarter therefore combined a consensus beat with a USD 0.02 year-over-year EPS decline.

Analyst target stays above the market

MarketBeat reported on September 26, 2026, that 20 analysts carried a Moderate Buy consensus and an average 12-month price target of USD 120.47. Morgan Stanley provided a counterpoint on September 18, 2026, cutting its target from USD 105.00 to USD 98.00 while keeping an equal weight rating, as reported by MarketBeat.

That split matters because the latest finance quote put Entergy market capitalization at USD 46.6 billion on September 29, 2026, while the 52-week range was USD 90.87 to USD 118.45. The average target of USD 120.47 therefore sits above the reported yearly high of USD 118.45, making the target dispersion a central valuation issue rather than a simple consensus story.

Capital structure adds a fresh data point

Entergy also settled remaining 2025 forward sale agreements on September 2, 2026, issuing 11,145,984 shares and receiving about USD 913 million, according to StockTitan. The transaction increases the relevance of per-share earnings and dividend coverage when the company reports again.

Entergy says it serves more than 3 million customers across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas through electricity generation, transmission and distribution operations. Its investor-relations page identifies the company as Entergy Corporation and lists NYSE trading under ticker ETR.

Market value sets the reference point

Entergy market capitalization stood at USD 46.6 billion on September 29, 2026, with the 52-week range at USD 90.87-118.45. The next investor checkpoints are the USD 4.25-4.45 fiscal 2026 EPS guidance range and the USD 0.64 quarterly dividend, which was paid on September 1, 2026.
