NRG Energy reported Q2 2026 results on August 4, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $1.49, below the $1.69 estimate by 12.03%. Revenue was $7.5 billion, above the $7.3 billion consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS fell about 11% from $1.68, while revenue rose about 12% from $6.7 billion. It was the second straight quarter with EPS of $1.49 and a miss against the estimate.

The longer record is highly uneven. The table includes two quarterly losses: $6.67 per share in Q1 2023 and $3.79 per share in Q3 2024. The high was $7.17 in Q1 2022. Annual EPS was $11.28 in 2022, $3.51 in 2024 and $8.17 in 2025. The table has no Q4 2023 row. The first two quarters of 2026 add up to $2.98, about 32% less than the same period a year earlier. NRG Energy topped the EPS estimate in 10 of the 20 quarters listed, often by or against very wide margins.

NRG Energy reported Q3 between November 2 and November 8 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report. It will show how the third quarter compares with Q3 2025's $2.78 per share.
