Entergy Q2 FY2026: EPS $1.03, revenue up 5.9%, 2026 guidance affirmed
Entergy's second quarter was steady rather than spectacular: revenue grew 5.9% to $3.52 billion and Utility earnings rose to $626 million, but per-share profit slipped to $1.03 from $1.05 and landed just under the $1.0459 consensus estimate. Higher interest expense and a 4.5% larger share count absorbed the growth. Guidance for 2026 was affirmed, so read the quarter as progress, not acceleration.

Free preview belowReported and adjusted EPS were both $1.03, down from $1.05 a year earlier and about 1.5% below the $1.0459 consensus estimate. Utility EPS was flat at $1.34 even though Utility earnings rose to $626 million from $599 million, while the Parent & Other loss widened to $143 million from $131 million. A $0.05 share-count drag and $0.15 per share of higher consolidated interest expense did the damage.
$3.52 billion of revenue, up 5.9% from $3.33 billion in the same quarter last year. The gain came from rate actions across several operating companies, higher retail volume and a 9.9% jump in industrial sales volume, partly offset by the absence of the natural gas LDC businesses sold in July 2025. One caution: the segment line in this filing shows $626 million, which is Utility earnings rather than revenue, and does not add up to the consolidated top line.
