Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ETR

10/23/2026: ETR (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 1 day. Simulated Profits (0.00%). Updated daily EoD!

Entergy Corporation is a stable, regulated electric utility serving the Gulf South region of the United States. Its primary strength lies in its predictable, rate-regulated business model, which supports reliable dividend payments for income-focused investors. The company's main growth story is driven by regional industrial demand and the necessary modernization of its aging infrastructure. However, Entergy faces ongoing risks from frequent, severe weather events and the complex regulatory environments of its operating states. It is best suited for conservative, income-oriented investors, while developments in rate cases and hurricane-related infrastructure resilience should be primary areas of focus for stakeholders.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ETR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ETR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid 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 0.22%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ETR'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 ETR'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 97.9% and approximately 97.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.22%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.86%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.39%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.62%
State Street Corp 5.36%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 5.22%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ETR 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

★★★★★
ETR has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
