Evergy stock (ISIN US30034W1062) closed at USD 80.35 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, while Ladenburg Thalmann lifted its target to USD 89 from USD 88 on October 7, 2026. According to FUTU, the new target lies 10.77 percent above that closing price.

Ladenburg lifts target to USD 89

The October 7 target move gives Evergy a fresh analyst signal after the stock traded below its yearly high. The change was measured, with the new target only USD 1 above the previous USD 88 objective.

That target action is separate from the most recent earnings comparison. MarketBeat reported on October 7, 2026, that Evergy posted Q2 2026 EPS of USD 0.88 against USD 0.81 consensus and revenue of USD 1.50 billion against USD 1.36 billion consensus.

Consensus target reaches USD 90.60

The broader analyst view also remains above the market price. MarketBeat said eight of 11 analysts rated the stock Buy and three rated it Hold, producing a Moderate Buy consensus with an average 12-month target of USD 90.60. The average target lies 12.75 percent above the October 6 closing price.

For investors, the earnings comparison matters because it pairs the target revisions with an operating result. Q2 2026 revenue of USD 1.50 billion exceeded the USD 1.36 billion consensus by USD 140.0 million, while EPS exceeded consensus by USD 0.07.

Stock remains below yearly high

Evergy's market capitalization was USD 18.5 billion as of October 7, 2026. The 52-week range was USD 71.41 to USD 88.62, placing the October 6 close USD 8.27 below the yearly high.

Evergy operates as a regulated electric utility serving customers in Kansas and Missouri. Its valuation will therefore remain tied to earnings execution, regulated investment and the spread between the market price and analyst targets.
