Second-quarter figures beat expectations

Evergy reported second-quarter revenue of USD 1.50 billion and diluted GAAP earnings per share of USD 0.91 for the period ended June 30, 2026, according to the company's results coverage on MarketBeat. The same report cites adjusted EPS of USD 0.88, up from USD 0.82 in the year-earlier quarter, and revenue above the USD 1.36 billion consensus estimate.

Targets remain above the share price

MarketBeat's September 16, 2026 overview assigns Evergy a Moderate Buy consensus from eight Buy ratings and three Holds, with an average price target of USD 90.60. That target stands 12.8 percent above the USD 80.35 reference price.

A separate October 2, 2026 research note from MCH Advisory Research assigns a HOLD rating and a 12-month probability-weighted target of USD 85.52. Its target is 6.4 percent above the October 6 price, leaving the valuation debate tied to regulated growth, capital spending and the return allowed in Kansas and Missouri rate cases.
