JP Morgan raises Entergy PT to $102, maintains Overweight rating.

In a significant move, JP Morgan has revised its price target for Entergy Corporation (ETR) to $102, maintaining its Overweight rating. This update comes amidst a series of positive developments for the utility giant, including strong earnings and robust business growth. The analyst firm's decision reflects a bullish outlook on the company's prospects, particularly in light of its strategic investments and regulatory approvals.

Entergy Corporation reported strong adjusted earnings per share of $0.82 for the first quarter, meeting its 2025 guidance. The company also announced significant industrial growth with new investments from Hyundai Motor Group, CF Industries, and Woodside, expected to boost economic development in Louisiana. Additionally, Entergy has received regulatory approvals for key projects, including a $0.5 billion transmission project in Louisiana and a combined cycle gas plant in Mississippi.

The company's capital plan, which includes more than $5 billion of renewable investments through 2028, also received a positive nod from JP Morgan. The analyst firm cited the potential for these investments to drive long-term growth and improve the company's financial performance.

However, Entergy faces some headwinds, including higher interest expenses and depreciation due to investments. Additionally, the company must navigate potential impacts from tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, JP Morgan remains optimistic about Entergy's ability to execute its growth strategy and deliver strong returns to investors.

In recent weeks, Entergy's stock has shown signs of resilience, with a 1.27% gain on the last trading day (Monday, July 14, 2025). The stock has also been buoyed by technical indicators, such as the Golden Star Signal, which is considered a rare and positive technical formation. This signal, observed on July 10, 2025, often precedes long and strong gains for the stock.

JP Morgan's decision to raise its price target for Entergy to $102 reflects the analyst firm's confidence in the company's ability to capitalize on its strategic initiatives and navigate potential challenges. The Overweight rating suggests that JP Morgan believes Entergy is undervalued relative to its peers and has the potential to deliver strong returns to investors.
