Entergy Expands Renewable Energy, Boosts Profits Amid Data Center Push

Entergy Corporation, a major energy company, is making significant strides in its renewable energy and data center expansion plans. As of August 20, 2025, the company has a market cap of $39.8 billion and serves over 3 million customers across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

In the past year, Entergy's stock has surged 49.7%, outperforming the broader S&P 500 Index, which has rallied 16%. The company's strong performance is driven by its ambitious $40 billion capital expenditure plan, which aims to add 5-10 GW of new data center projects, including a potential deal to power Meta's $10 billion Louisiana campus. Entergy is also expanding its solar, battery storage, and natural gas capacity to support its growing renewable energy portfolio.

The utility company's Q2 2025 results were stronger than expected, with net income of $1.05 per share and revenue of $3.3 billion. Entergy has also raised its long-term profit outlook, forecasting earnings per share (EPS) of $4.70 to $5 in 2027 and $5.20 to $5.50 in 2028. For the fiscal year ending in December 2025, analysts expect Entergy's EPS to grow 6.6% year-over-year to $3.89.

With its focus on renewable energy and data center expansion, Entergy is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable and reliable energy solutions in the years ahead.
