Evergy reported third quarter 2024 GAAP earnings of $465.6 million, or $2.02 per share, up from $351.6 million, or $1.53 per share, a year earlier. The company reaffirmed its 2024 EPS guidance of $3.73 to $3.93, established 2025 guidance of $3.92 to $4.12, and introduced a 2025-2029 capital investment plan of $16.2 billion.
Q3 2024 adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) was $2.02, compared with $1.88 in Q3 2023; the company cited new retail rates, FERC regulated investments and weather-normalized demand growth, partly offset by cooler summer weather and higher depreciation.

Long-term adjusted EPS growth target of 4% to 6% through 2029, with growth expected in the upper half of that range beginning in 2026.
Evergy said a unanimous settlement in its Missouri West rate case is pending approval by the Missouri Public Service Commission.
