Entergy Corp

Entergy Louisiana's $13.5 million grid-hardening project in St. Bernard Parish is tested by Arthur's remnants, potentially avoiding $24M in storm costs.

Evergy and Entergy stocks rose Friday as data-center power demand fuels utility valuations. Evergy closed near 52-week high; Entergy announced $67B capital plan.

Entergy New Orleans raised $90 million via a private placement of first mortgage bonds, with proceeds likely earmarked for storm hardening and capital spending ahead of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Entergy shares climb 33.3% over 52 weeks, beating S&P 500 and utilities, as AI and data center demand boost capital spending to $57 billion and secure major contracts with Meta and Hyundai.

Entergy shares continue climbing, buoyed by a major $10 billion data center partnership with Meta and analyst upgrades setting $120 price targets. The deal includes significant grid investments and customer savings.
