Pinnacle West Capital Corporation posted earnings of $3.39 per share for Q3 2025. Results were lifted by higher transmission revenue and solid sales growth across customer groups.

During the quarter, sales trends looked healthy once the weather was normalized. Total growth came in at 5.4% for the quarter. Commercial and industrial sales rose 6.6%, and residential sales increased 4.3%. Year to date, residential sales are up 2%. The company also raised its full-year outlook. Pinnacle West Capital Corporation now expects 2025 earnings of $4.90 to $5.10 per share, up from the prior $4.40 to $4.60 range.
