<h3>Comparing Entergy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.19 in the Electric Utilities industry, Entergy Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 26.91. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Entergy Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Entergy

After grappling with regulatory hurdles, rising capital costs, and rapidly declining costs of renewables like solar, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest highlights in its new research that nuclear energy can potentially emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity, outcompeting solar.
What Happened: A new research note from Sam Korus, the director of research for autonomous technology and robotics at Ark, published on May 14, highlights that nuclear power&#8217;s promise of reliable baseload energy was overshadowed by soaring expenses, particularly after the 1970s.
While solar costs have plummeted, Ark Invest&#8217;s analysis highlights a crucial, often overlooked factor: utilization rates.
&#8220;A quick glance suggests nuclear wouldn&#8217;t be as low as solar on a cost-per-watt basis,&#8221; the research note explains, &#8220;but importantly, the first glance misses a key point: nuclear plants operate at more than 80% utilization, while solar plants operate at a capacity utilization rate in the low 20s%.&#8221;
When adjusted for this, the playing field dramatically shifts, explains Korus in his research.
The research proposes four potential cost scenarios for nuclear, with the most optimistic envisioning a &#8220;step-change cost decline to pre-1975 nuclear cost trendline.&#8221;
This discontinuous drop, driven by new companies like Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), could lead to overall capital costs of approximately $3.3 trillion, making nuclear power the lowest-cost option.
Korus adds, &#8220;The future of nuclear energy depends upon costs. If a company were to achieve a discontinuous decline in costs, nuclear power could emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s a list of some solar energy-linked stocks and exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: Talking about solar energy, Korus said that while solar costs are expected to continue their decline, there are significant logistical challenges.
&#8220;Solar's land requirement at 71.4 million acres would be a considerable logistical challenge,&#8221; the note states.
This vast footprint, coupled with complex real estate negotiations and long interconnect times, could make large-scale solar deployment difficult, leaving a vital role for alternative sources like nuclear.

Keybanc Upgrades Entergy to Overweight, Announces $85 Price Target

Entergy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.58% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.87 million shares sold short, which is 2.61% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.96 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747062036_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Entergy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Entergy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Entergy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.46%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Earnings Scheduled For April 29, 2025

CORRECTION: The name of the company is Entergy Corp. not Entergy Inc., as originally written.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
Looking into the current session, Entergy Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) shares are trading at $84.60, after a 0.01% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 0.67%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 61.25%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company&#39;s price-to-earnings ratio.

&nbsp;
<h3>Comparing Entergy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company&#39;s EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company&#39;s current performance against it&#39;s past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future.
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.69 in the Electric Utilities industry, Entergy&nbsp;has a higher P/E ratio of 34.53. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Entergy might perform better than its industry group. It&#39;s also possible that the stock is overvalued.
&nbsp;
<img alt="Guage" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745874017_1.png" />
&nbsp;
In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company&#39;s market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company&#39;s financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into Entergy's Price Over Earnings (CORRECTED)

The ongoing dispute in Louisiana over who should bear the cost of new power plants required for&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) $10 billion data center is heating up.
What Happened: The Louisiana Public Service Commission received new testimony on April 11 from consumer advocates and climate groups. They urged the state regulator to reject a proposal by Meta&#8217;s electricity provider, Entergy Louisiana, to pass on $5 billion in construction costs for the plants to its entire customer base, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-data-center-louisiana-5b-ratepayers-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider on Saturday.
Entergy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) has put forward a proposal to construct three new natural gas power plants to support Meta&#8217;s data centers. The utility contends that the data center could have a significant impact on the state, potentially creating 300 to 500 jobs with an average salary of $82,000.
However, advocates and climate groups argued that Entergy&#8217;s 1.1 million electric customers should not bear the cost of Meta&#8217;s power usage. Cathy Kunkel, an energy consultant, also cautioned that the utility&#8217;s plan could &#8220;put other ratepayers at risk of having to absorb hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, of additional costs&#8221; tied to Meta&#8217;s data center.
Even Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) in Louisiana has raised concerns, seeking a guarantee that Meta&#8217;s increasing power demand will not affect it or other Entergy customers in the state.

Why It Matters: &nbsp;The controversy surrounding the funding of Meta&#8217;s data center highlights the broader issue of who should bear the cost of tech companies&#8217; increasing power consumption. As these companies continue to expand their data centers, the demand for electricity is likely to rise, potentially leading to higher costs for consumers.&nbsp;
These concerns stem from the fact that Meta&#8217;s power requirements have grown since the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42337936/meta-unveils-10-billion-ai-data-center-in-louisiana-a-game-changer-for-tech-and-jobs">first revealed </a>its intention to construct an AI data center in Louisiana, which has contributed to higher service costs for Entergy. The precise amount of additional electricity Meta is requesting remains unclear, as the relevant details have been redacted from the filings.
This situation is further complicated by the reports of recent pullout of Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from data center leases, raising questions about the sustainability of the AI development boom.&nbsp;However, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Amazon have recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001873/amazon-and-nvidia-dismiss-fears-of-ai-data-center-pullback-we-continue-to-see-very-strong-demand">denied reports</a> of slowdown in AI data center construction. 
The momentum rating of META is 75.93% while its growth rating is 75%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.
