Pinnacle West posts Q3 earnings beat and lifts FY26 EPS outlook

Pinnacle West Capital Corp. reported third‑quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $3.49 per share on revenue of $1.97 billion, both above analyst forecasts. Net income rose to $434.2 million, up from $413.2 million a year earlier, and revenue grew 8.2% year‑over‑year. The utility raised its full‑year 2026 EPS guidance to a range of $5.05‑$5.25 per diluted share, citing strong customer growth and weather‑driven demand.

The higher EPS guidance signals stronger future profitability, which may support a higher valuation for the stock. Investors will watch for the company’s ability to sustain demand growth and translate it into earnings.
