Entergy reported second quarter 2026 earnings of $483 million, or $1.03 per share, compared with $468 million, or $1.05 per share, a year earlier. Per-share earnings slipped because the diluted share count rose to 466 million from 446 million, while the company affirmed its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.25 to $4.45. Shareholders see higher dollar profit but a small per-share decline, with the full-year outlook unchanged.

Diluted average shares outstanding rose to 466 million from 446 million, mainly due to equity forward settlements.
Entergy affirmed its 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $4.25 to $4.45.
Parent & Other loss widened to $(143) million from $(131) million, mainly due to higher interest expense.
Entergy's Talent & Compensation Committee approved amendments on May 7, 2026 to the System Executive Retirement Plan and Pension Equalization Plan.
