New Orleans, LA based Entergy Corporation (ETR - Free Report) is primarily engaged in electric power production and retail distribution of power. Entergy's disciplined investments in growth projects are expected to be the major drivers for earnings over the long haul.

Moreover, the company is focused on maximizing shareholder value and has a current dividend yield of 4.72%, much higher than the industry average of 3.59%, which has propelled investor’s interest in the stock.
