Evergy Q2 2026: EPS beats, 2026 guidance reaffirmed at $4.14–$4.34
Evergy beat the Street and held its full-year plan: second quarter GAAP EPS of $0.91 topped the $0.8461 consensus, and management reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.14 to $4.34. Read this as a steady regulated utility grinding out growth rather than a re-rating story — the beat is modest, the reaffirmation is the real headline, and the balance sheet shows meaningful leverage.

Free preview belowGAAP earnings were $215.0 million, or $0.91 per share, versus $171.3 million and $0.74 a year ago. Adjusted EPS of $0.88 beat the $0.8461 consensus and rose from $0.82. The GAAP-to-adjusted gap is only about $6.5 million and comes mainly from gains on early-stage clean energy investments, so this is not an accounting-driven beat.
Revenue was $1.43 billion, up 5.2% from $1.35 billion in last year's second quarter. No revenue estimate was given in this filing, so there is nothing to compare that growth against except the prior year. Management credits recovery of regulated investments, growth in weather-normalized demand and higher large-customer revenue, partly offset by higher operations and maintenance and depreciation costs.
