Data Center Demand Has Investors Reevaluating U.S. Electric Utility Stocks

AI data centers have upended the traditional investor view of electric utilities over the last two years, transforming a predictable industry that acted as a hedge against economic downturns into a growth sector with enormous upside but also greater risk. Today, utility valuations reflect a hybrid approach: a blend of the certainty that comes with acting as a bond proxy and having a regulated monopoly and increasing expectations for exponential profitability beyond 2030.

Entergy: Industrial Load Growth Can Drive A Major EPS Reset

I am rating Entergy Corporation as a buy with a $148 price target, implying a 34.5% upside from the current price of $110. The biggest growth drivers are the Meta-linked Louisiana data center investment, broader industrial load growth, new generation, transmission expansion, renewables, storage, and distribution capex. I estimate these growth drivers can take adjusted EPS from $3.91 in 2025 to about $7.40 by 2030. This is close to management's 2029 guidance of $7.05 to $7.35.
