Evergy Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results and Raises Full-Year Guidance Driven by Data Center Demand
Evergy, Inc. (EVRG) reported third-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, highlighted by an adjusted EPS of $2.58. The company's performance was bolstered by warmer weather, robust load growth, and the recovery of regulated investments. Consequently, management raised its full-year 2026 earnings guidance to a range of $4.35 to $4.50 per share. A significant driver of future growth is the surge in commercial demand, which grew 8.7% due largely to data center customers. Evergy identified a potential 1.4 gigawatt expansion opportunity with Digital Realty and noted increased industrial demand from Panasonic operations. To support this massive load growth and its five-year capital plan of $22.5 billion through 2030, the company is projecting a rate base CAGR of 12%.
