Entergy increased its quarterly dividend by 6.3% to $0.68 per share, yielding about 2.47%. The payout is covered comfortably by its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance, with a payout ratio of 61% to 64%. The company benefits from a pipeline of large data center contracts, including a key 20-year deal with Meta Platforms, which helps offset costs and supports future growth. However, Entergy spends more on capital projects than it generates in cash flow, relying on debt and equity financing, which poses risks if financing costs rise or data center projects are delayed. Investors should watch upcoming quarterly results for confirmation of sustainability.
