Entergy lifts dividend to $0.68 a share

Entergy Corporation’s board of directors on October 30, 2026 declared a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share on the company’s common stock, an increase of $0.04 per share. The dividend will be paid on December 1, 2026 to shareholders of record as of November 13, 2026. This latest action continues Entergy’s pattern of providing regular cash returns to its shareholders.

The decision to lift the dividend adds to Entergy’s long record of maintaining quarterly cash dividend payments. The company has paid a cash dividend every quarter since 1988, underscoring a consistent commitment to shareholder distributions over several decades.

Entergy serves more than 3 million customers through its operating companies in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. It generates, transmits and distributes electricity across these regions, focusing on providing reliable energy while aiming to keep customer costs as low as possible.

The company describes itself as a nationally recognized leader in sustainability and corporate citizenship and reports delivering more than $100 million in economic benefits each year to the communities it serves through philanthropy, volunteerism and advocacy. Entergy is a Fortune 500 company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, with approximately 12,000 employees.

Entergy states that it is investing in growth through a more resilient and cleaner energy system. Its generation portfolio includes modern natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy resources, reflecting an ongoing shift toward cleaner and more robust infrastructure to support its service territories.

The combination of a higher quarterly dividend and investments in system resilience and cleaner generation highlights Entergy’s dual focus on shareholder returns and long-term system improvements. The company’s continued quarterly payout since 1988 and its latest increase to $0.68 per share position the dividend as a central element of its capital return framework.
