Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what ETR's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. ETR trades near $107.70, around its 50-day average ($112.20) and 200-day average ($102.09). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 67 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. ETR's is $2.08 (~1.9% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month ETR found buyers near $107.62 (support) and sellers near $116.71 (resistance); its 52-week range is $80.11–$118.45. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.8× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

4Y CAGR
5.9%
Revenue moved from $10.75B in 2009 to $12.95B in 2025, a 2.7% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year grew a steady 11.5% year over year. Consistent top-line growth is one sign of healthy demand.
Gross Margin
42.0%
Operating Margin
24.7%
Net Margin
13.6%
ROE
10.5%
Entergy keeps about 13.6% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 42.0% gross margin and 24.7% operating margin. Return on equity is 10.5% and return on invested capital about 5.0%. Margins are moderate — typical of a competitive but profitable business.
Total Debt
$32.68B
Net Debt
$29.11B
Net Debt / EBITDA
9.09x
Debt / Equity
1.8x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 1.8x, and operating profit covers interest about 3.2x, with a current ratio of 1.0x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $32.68B of total debt against $3.57B of cash.
Operating CF
$5.15B
Free Cash Flow
-$2.53B
FCF Margin
-19.6%
In the latest year Entergy produced about $5.15B of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 15.4% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.
Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.
Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for ETR:
- Revenue is growing 11.5% a year, a sign of real demand.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~15.4%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 2.3% dividend on top of any price gains.
The case against ETR:
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 1.8x) adds financial risk.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 1.8x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the picture is mixed: Entergy is a large-cap utilities business still growing nicely, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 27.5x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (43/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
