Analysts see USD 152.71

According to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026, eight ratings firms gave IDACORP a Moderate Buy consensus. Six firms rated the stock Buy and two rated it Hold, while the average 12-month target stood at USD 152.71.

The target is USD 19.92 above the October 2 share price of USD 132.79, a 15.00 percent premium calculated against the stock price. That spread gives the consensus a more constructive tone than the chart position, although the target is an average rather than a single-house forecast.

Profit rose despite revenue miss

The Globe and Mail reported on July 30, 2026 that IDACORP generated second-quarter 2026 net income of USD 102.6 million, or USD 1.79 per diluted share, versus USD 95.8 million and USD 1.76 per share in the prior-year quarter. The earnings increase was tied to customer growth, rate changes and higher revenue from large contract customers.

Revenue reached USD 469.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, below the USD 511.87 million consensus cited by MarketBeat. Earnings per share nevertheless exceeded the USD 1.78 consensus by USD 0.01, while the company raised the lower end of its fiscal 2026 earnings guidance to USD 6.30-6.45 per diluted share.

Stock remains below its yearly high

IDACORP had a market capitalization of USD 7.7 billion as of October 2, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 124.12 to USD 154.91. The stock's USD 132.79 market price was USD 22.12 below the yearly high, leaving the valuation context dependent on whether the guidance range converts into sustained earnings growth.

The Lang & Schwarz prior close was EUR 118.00 for October 2, 2026. IDACORP's second-quarter operating profile showed higher profit and cash generation, but the revenue shortfall remains an important counterweight to the positive earnings comparison.
