Upside Potential as of May 26: 12.98%

Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) delivers electricity and gas services to 3 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

On May 21, Morgan Stanley trimmed its price target on Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) from $101 to $94, but maintained an ‘Equal Weight’ rating on the shares. The revision comes after the analyst firm adjusted its price targets for Regulated & Diversified Utilities / IPPs in North America for April. The analyst noted that utilities underperformed the broader market during the month, delivering gains of only 2% against the 10.4% posted by the overall S&P.

The move comes despite Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) exceeding profit estimates in its Q1 2026 report last month. The utility reaffirmed its adjusted earnings target of $4.25 to $4.45 per share for FY 2026. Moreover, it increased its long-term adjusted EPS guidance, raising its 2027 outlook by $0.20 and its 2029 forecast by $0.50 to $6.40 per share. The raised guidance comes on the back of an expected 8.5% compound annual retail sales growth through 2029, including an annual industrial growth of 16%.
