Antge's Q4 earnings fell short of expectations, and the stock price dropped over 2%

New Orleans - Thursday, Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings of $0.51 per share (both reported and adjusted), below analysts’ expectations of $0.54 per share.

Following the announcement, the company’s stock fell 2.45% in pre-market trading.

For the full year 2025, Entergy achieved earnings of $3.91 per share, placing performance in the upper half of its guidance range.

The utility company reported strong revenue growth, with retail electricity sales up 4.1% for the year, and 3.9% growth after weather adjustments. Industrial sales performed particularly well, increasing 6.7% year-over-year.

“2025 is another important year in Entergy’s transformation and growth story. We continue to sign significant power service agreements with data center and traditional industrial customers,” said Drew Marsh, Chairman and CEO of Entergy. “We delivered solid financial results and continue to demonstrate that our customer-first strategy creates significant value for all stakeholders.”

Fourth-quarter results declined compared to the adjusted earnings of $0.66 per share reported in the same period last year. Increased operating and maintenance expenses, higher interest costs, and increased depreciation led to a year-over-year quarterly decline.

Looking ahead, Entergy issued an adjusted earnings guidance for 2026 of $4.25 to $4.45 per share, indicating continued growth compared to 2025.

The company highlighted several regulatory approvals obtained in 2025, including the Jefferson Power Plant project in Arkansas and multiple 500-kV transmission projects within its service area.

The company’s industrial customer growth remains a bright spot, and “Site Selection” magazine has ranked Entergy as a top utility in economic development for the 18th consecutive year.
