IDACORP, Inc. expected to post earnings of $2.50 a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

IDACORP, Inc. is expected to report results on October 29 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. Analysts expect revenue of $602.91 million, up 15.0% from $524.42 million a year ago, and earnings of $2.50 per share.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

A 15% revenue rise would show strong growth for this Boise, Idaho-based utility, which means a company selling electricity to customers. Higher revenue can support costs, dividends and capital spending, but actual profit depends on expenses and regulation, not sales alone.

Analyst inference

Analysts rate the shares "buy," with 7 buy or strong buy, 1 hold and no sell. The median 12-month price target of $155.00 is about 10.5% above the last close of $140.21, suggesting analysts see room for gains.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether reported revenue reaches the $602.91 million estimate and earnings reach $2.50 per share when IDACORP reports on October 29 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. Confirmed
2. Watch whether IDACORP keeps or raises its dividend and how much capital spending, meaning money put into long-term assets, it plans, since utilities often fund growth with borrowed money. Proposed
3. Watch whether profit per sale, called margin, holds up as revenue grows, because higher costs or unfavorable regulation could turn a 15% sales rise into weaker earnings than analysts expect. Analyst inference
