Evergy Inc. (EVRG) Latest News
25 Sep
Evergy Inc. expects data-center demand to fuel long-term load growth, rate-base expansion and earnings. In Q2 2026 it signed ESAs covering about 2,600 MW of projected peak data-center demand for three new projects and two expansions, with service starting 2026-2028 and at least one additional ESA anticipated in 2026. The company also identifies roughly 2-2.5 GW of near-site expansion opportunities and 1-2 GW from Tier-2 customers; the broader pipeline exceeds 10 GW. Evergy plans $21.6 billion of capital investments through 2030 to enable about 12% annual rate-base growth and to expand generation and grid infrastructure, aiming for 6-8% adjusted earnings growth through 2030. Beyond signed ESAs, the universe of opportunities could extend into the 2030s. Rising data-center load is driving utility investments and could meaningfully lift EVRG’s growth profile. Surging data-center demand and a large, uncapped expansion pipeline could significantly boost EVRG's rate-base growth and long-term earnings.

Evergy, Inc. (EVRG), a Kansas City-based regulated utility, has a market cap of about $18.3B and a diversified mix of coal, gas, uranium, and renewables. The stock underperformed the Dow, sliding from a 52-week high of $88.62 (July 7) and retreating about 11.5% from that peak; it fell 7.6% in the last three months, though it is up about 8.2% year-to-date, trailing Dow YTD gains of 7.2%. EVRG has traded below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, as investors weigh the impact of rising rates on its debt-heavy balance sheet, plus high capital expenditure, slower rate-case approvals, weather, and inflation on margins. On Aug. 6 the company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.88, up 7.3% YoY, and revenue of $1.5B (+4.4%), guiding full-year adjusted EPS of $4.14-$4.34. Analysts remain bullish with a median price target around $91.73 (about 17% upside). Rising rates and debt-heavy balance sheet with large capex and regulatory delays could pressure margins, though regulated earnings and bullish analyst sentiment limit downside.
