Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ELC

11/10/2026: ELC (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC is a major regulated electric utility providing essential power services to a diverse customer base in Louisiana. The company is known for its stable, infrastructure-heavy business model which generates consistent cash flows, making it a compelling option for dividend-focused and defensive investors. While the company benefits from a protected market position and clear regulatory frameworks, it faces material risks related to severe regional weather and the ongoing cost of grid modernization. Investors should monitor regulatory rate case outcomes and the company's ability to transition its generation mix toward sustainable energy sources while maintaining long-term financial stability.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ELC receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ELC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+67.1%) and solid profitability (net margin 13.7%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -21.6%), moderate revenue growth (+9.0%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ELC's financial health is supported by solid efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 6.3% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is ELC's strongest growth driver at +67.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+9.0%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-88.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 0.0% (soft) and 0.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (soft). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ELC generates approximately $299 of gross profit, $236 of operating income, and $-216 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.92%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ELC has a relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
