Entergy Corporation (ETR) Charts Path for Growth Amid Mixed Results

Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) is one of the best infrastructure stocks to buy right now. On February 12, Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) shared its Q4 2025 earnings. Quarterly EPS came in at $0.51, 5.6% below the Street’s consensus. Meanwhile, earnings reached $236 million, down from $286 million in Q4 2024.

For the full year, adjusted EPS reached $3.91, up 7% year over year. Full-year adjusted earnings were $1.76 billion, which management said were boosted by regulatory actions, higher retail sales volumes (including weather), other income gains, returns on construction work-in-progress, and lower nuclear refueling outages.

On a full-year basis, utility business earnings attributable to Entergy totaled $2.28 billion, or $5.06 per share. The revenue was offset by higher interest expense, O&M, depreciation, and non-income taxes. On the contrary, the Parent & Other segment posted a $521 million loss, or $1.16 per share. Nonetheless, this was an improvement from the prior year, said management, due to resolved legacy contracts and other adjustments.

During the year, the company secured approvals for major projects like Jefferson Power Station (Arkansas), West Bank 500 kV transmission (Louisiana), Cypress-Legend 500 kV (Texas), and Google’s special contract. It also filed for more, including Cottonwood acquisition and solar/battery builds. The company was also ranked top utility for economic development for the 18th year running and earned the EEI award for volunteerism.

​Against the backdrop, the executives guided adjusted EPS to range from $4.25 to $4.45, which is a 9-14% growth midpoint.
