Nov 5▼ DownEarnings6 articles
Southern Company shares closed at $93.34, down 0.96% on volume of about 15 million shares, as mixed earnings news dominated the session. The utility reported Q4 adjusted EPS of $0.30, well below the $0.45 consensus estimate, but also raised its FY2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $4.70 from a prior range of $4.50-$4.60, above the $4.59 consensus. Southern also lifted its 2026 profit forecast on rising power demand, while a separate release highlighted Q3 results that beat expectations with adjusted EPS of $1.94 and revenue of $8.843 billion. The stock's decline suggests the Q4 miss weighed on sentiment despite the bullish forward guidance.
