Entergy Raises Quarterly Dividend 6.3% to $0.68

Entergy reported third-quarter 2026 earnings of $940 million, or $1.98 per share, up from $694 million, or $1.53 per share, a year earlier; the company estimated favorable weather effects contributed 24 cents per share. Utility earnings rose on higher retail sales, regulatory actions and returns on utility investments, partly offset by increased costs, while higher interest expense deepened the Parent and Other segment’s loss. Entergy narrowed its 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to $4.35–$4.45. The board also raised the quarterly dividend by 4 cents to 68 cents per share, a 6.3% increase, payable Dec. 1 to shareholders of record Nov. 13.
