Entergy's stock may be trading above its fair value, with a Dividend Discount Model analysis suggesting an intrinsic value of about $80 per share, roughly 43.3% below the current price. The model uses a recent annual dividend of $2.87 per share, an estimated return on equity of 11.16%, and a payout ratio around 61%, with dividend growth capped at 3.54%. While the price-to-earnings multiple of 29.6 times appears roughly in line with a tailored fair ratio of 26.9 times, the broader valuation checks score zero out of six, leaning toward the stock being expensive. Recent equity issuance through at-the-market and underwritten forward sale agreements to fund projects like the Meta data center deal introduces dilution risk for existing shareholders.
