Entergy Corporation reported third‑quarter 2025 earnings per share of $1.53 on both an as‑reported and adjusted basis, up from $1.50 in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue for the quarter was $3.81 billion, a 12.4% increase from $3.39 billion in Q3 2024. The utility segment generated $810 million in earnings, or $1.79 per share, while the parent and other segment recorded a $117 million loss, or –$0.26 per share.
Operating expenses rose 19% year‑over‑year to $1.12 billion, and interest expenses increased 10% to $210 million. The company cited higher operating costs, including maintenance and regulatory compliance, as the primary drivers of the expense increase. Despite the higher costs, the company maintained a net operating margin of 18% for the quarter.
Entergy narrowed its 2025 adjusted earnings‑per‑share guidance to a range of $3.85 to $3.95, down from a previous range of $3.75 to $3.95. Management highlighted a growing pipeline of data‑center customers and an additional 4.5 GW of power‑island equipment under contract as key contributors to the outlook. The company also reiterated its $37 billion investment plan through 2028, focused on clean‑energy capacity and grid resilience.
The company’s strategic focus on data‑center demand is underscored by projects with major clients such as Meta and Amazon. Entergy plans to add over 5,000 MW of solar capacity by 2028 and invest in modern natural‑gas and nuclear generation to support the transition to a cleaner energy mix. The investment plan includes substantial upgrades to transmission and distribution infrastructure to enhance reliability and meet rising demand in the Gulf South.
Regulatory approvals for new power stations and transmission projects in Texas and Arkansas have bolstered the utility segment’s performance. The company’s competitive landscape includes peers such as NextEra Energy and CenterPoint Energy, which also reported strong Q3 2025 results, indicating a generally positive environment for the sector.
Entergy’s financial health remains solid, with a debt‑to‑equity ratio of 1.2 and sufficient liquidity to support its capital‑intensive strategy. The company’s operating margins remain robust, and its investment in grid resilience positions it to capture the region’s expanding electricity needs.
