# Entergy Corporation (ETR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Utilities / Electric Utilities. Price $107.27, market value $51.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 27.4×** (5-yr avg 19.5×, 3-yr avg 20.5×). Entergy Corporation trades at 27.4× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 19.5×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 21.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.35**. A PEG of 0.35 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.9×.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.7×**. Enterprise value is 14.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -5.5%** (5-yr avg -1.8%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 3.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 23.1%**. 23.1% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 13.7%**. 13.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 10.5%**. 10.5% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 2.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 9.0%** (3-yr -2.0%/yr, 5-yr 5.1%/yr). Revenue grew 9.0% over the last year, against 5.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 59.6%** (3-yr 13.4%/yr, 5-yr 2.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 59.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.79**. Debt is 1.79 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet, which is normal for utilities.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.2×**. It would take 5.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.39%** ($2.52 per share, trailing). Entergy Corporation yields 2.39%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 61%**. 61% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 26**. 26 straight years of increases (the data covers 26 years, so this may be longer): a record very few companies hold.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 5.5%/yr** (1-yr 6.3%). The dividend has grown 5.5% a year over five years.

- **From 52-week high: -9.4%** (24.2% above the low). Trading 9% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 48**. An RSI of 48 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.21** (volatility 20%). Beta of 0.21 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
