barrons3	The Dow Jones Utility Average is up about 25% from its March low, roughly half the gain of the S&P 500. But year to date, the utility index is flat, versus the S&P's 15% rise. Stocks such as Southern Co. (SO), American Electric Power (AEP), Entergy (ETR) and Exelon (EXC) are down in 2009.	Love	September 12, 2009
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"It's OK, it's not great. But we've got Dominion Resources (D) with a dividend, a great management and a lot of renewable energy."	Love	March 18, 2009
barrons3	New Orleans-based Entergy, with a market capitalization of $15.7 billion, trades for a modest 11 times 2009 earnings estimates of $7.50 a share. Hilliard Lyons has a 12-month price target of $100, or 25% above the recent stock price of $80. The stock is down 34% in the past 12 months. J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's CEO, who brought the company back from the brink when he joined 10 years ago, says Entergy delivered the highest total shareholder return -- 414.3% -- of any company in its industry for the nine years ended Dec. 31, 2007. Moreover, Entergy has articulated a goal of reducing its carbon emission to 20% below its 2000 level by the end of this decade. The company, whose operating earnings rose 22% in 2007 to $5.76 a share, is expected to earn $6.60 a share for 2008, 15% above the current price.	Love	January 10, 2009

Steve Old Boy	Entergy is an integrated energy company with three primary businesses: a regulated utility that distributes power and gas across a 4-state area; a non-utility nuclear division that sells power into the northeast merchant market (it currently has an enormous cost advantage over gas-fired plants and may be spun off); and an energy commodity services division that generates and sells non-nuclear wholesale power. The company mitigates merchant generation risk by selling its output in long-term power-purchase agreements.	Love	August 16, 2008
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "Cheap power producer. I like it. It's a cheap energy provider. It's got nuclear. I like Exelon (EXC) and Consolidated Edison (ED) more though."	Love	August 05, 2008
barrons2	Hold - Price 112.54 on April 29 by Jefferies & Co. Entergy [looks] fairly valued based on [discounted cash flow] and [enterprise value/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] valuation. While we remain bullish on the New York/New England wholesale power markets...we believe this is largely priced into the stock. Based on alternative EV/Ebitda valuation, our target is 119. Entergy...still [sees] September for completion of Enexus spinoff [even with likely wait for regulatory approval]. Market cap: $22.2 billion.	Love	May 03, 2008

jsscpaga	Good Argus Report: ETR is trading at 15.5-times our 2008 EPS estimate, a discount to electric utilities with large, higher-return merchant power operations. Based on the company’s growing financial strength, manageable risk profile, continued focus on nonregulated activities (but not to the exclusion of the regulated side), clearer earnings visibility, wellmanaged nuclear power plant assets and good relations with state regulators, we think the P/E multiple will expand significantly over the next 12 months. Added pluses are strong cost controls and the fact that all employees have done a remarkable job in bringing the company back from the brink after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. Our 12-month target price of $129, together with the dividend yield of 2.0%, suggests a potential 12-month total return of more than 20%.	Love	June 13, 2007

Barrons	From Barron's 4/17/07 "Operators in regulated electricity markets probably will be allowed to recover the higher costs of uranium via higher rates for customers. But nuclear operators in competitive markets, like Exelon, Entergy, FPL Group (FPL) and Dominion Resources (D), will see higher fuel costs deplete profit margins."	Hate	April 14, 2007
