Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Entergy Corporation is an electric utility serving customers across the southern Gulf corridor in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, and New Orleans, generating returns from electricity sales and investments in generation, transmission, and distribution assets covered by regulatory cost-recovery mechanisms. Its growth plan centers on grid modernization and strengthening storm resilience, alongside demand growth from AWS and Meta data centers and traditional industries, including steel, liquefied natural gas, and petrochemicals. The company emphasizes that signed data center agreements require those customers to cover the full cost of serving them and their share of fixed costs, and it expects them to generate 7 billion dollars in customer bill benefits.
In Q2 of fiscal year 2026, Entergy reported adjusted earnings per share of 1.03 dollars, down slightly year over year because weather returned to levels closer to normal compared with the hotter weather in 2025. Excluding the impact of weather, retail sales growth was positive, driven by a 10% increase in industrial sales as new projects began operations and existing facilities expanded. The latest available EDGAR data for Q1 of fiscal year 2026 showed revenue of 3.2 billion dollars, net income of 390.8 million dollars, and earnings per share of 0.83 dollars, while fiscal year 2025 revenue was approximately 12.9 billion dollars and net income was 1.8 billion dollars.
During the trailing twelve-month period through 2026, Entergy recorded revenue of 13.3 billion dollars, net income of 1.8 billion dollars, and earnings per share of approximately 3.90 dollars. The call did not provide a financial breakdown of revenue or earnings by operating segment, but it explained that the technology sector is the largest contributor to demand growth within the five-year plan, alongside strong demand from traditional industries. The opportunity pipeline includes 7 to 12 gigawatts of potential demand from hyperscale computing projects and 3 to 5 gigawatts of interest from traditional industrial sectors.
The analyst consensus rates ETR a "Buy," with an average price target of 123.91 dollars and a wide range between 105 and 135 dollars. The average target is above the 52-week range high of 118.45 dollars, while the highest target is clearly above that high and the lowest target is below it, reflecting differing estimates of how quickly data center demand will convert into earnings and how regulatory and financing risks should be priced. The context does not provide a valid comparable earnings multiple, so the valuation here is based on the target range versus the 52-week range of 86.40 to 118.45 dollars and the Buy consensus.

The technology sector is the largest contributor to demand growth within Entergy's five-year plan, with a potential pipeline of 7 to 12 gigawatts for hyperscale computing projects. This is supplemented by 3 to 5 gigawatts of interest from traditional industrial sectors, including steel, liquefied natural gas, and petrochemicals. In Q2 of fiscal year 2026, industrial sales rose 10% excluding the impact of weather as new projects began operations and existing facilities expanded.
Entergy applies the Fair Share Plus commitment, which requires data centers to cover the full incremental cost of serving them and pay a share of fixed costs through minimum bill provisions. The company expects agreements signed through July 29, 2026 to provide 7 billion dollars in customer bill benefits. Meta in Louisiana also pays a full tariff that includes contributions toward the costs of past and future storms and resilience investments.
Management reaffirmed its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal year 2026 and its outlook through 2030 during the July 29, 2026 call. Adjusted earnings per share were 1.03 dollars in Q2 of fiscal year 2026, down slightly year over year because weather was closer to normal compared with 2025. Management expects most annual earnings growth to appear in Q4 of fiscal year 2026 following an expected increase in the impact of operating and maintenance expenses equivalent to 0.05 to 0.10 dollars per share in Q3.

Entergy has deployed more than 400 self-healing networks serving more than half a million customers and says the program has prevented more than 700 thousand outages and approximately 80 million outage minutes since 2021. In Saint Bernard, the project includes replacing or reinforcing approximately 640 distribution and transmission poles with infrastructure designed to withstand winds of up to 150 miles per hour. In June 2026, a 200 million dollar Texas Energy Fund grant increased the value of Entergy Texas's accelerated resilience plan to 337 million dollars at no cost to customers.
A portion of demand remained at the indication-of-interest stage on July 29, 2026, and the company did not raise its hyperscale computing opportunity range of 7 to 12 gigawatts. New Orleans was subject to a temporary data center moratorium, while regulatory proceedings continued for additional service to the Meta project. Entergy had also secured approximately 7.5 gigawatts of power plant equipment against a total opportunity range of 10 to 17 gigawatts, making equipment availability and the timing of approvals and execution critical factors.
