The company now expects 2026 diluted earnings of $6.40–$6.50, previously $6.30–$6.45, assuming normal weather through year-end and less than $10 million of additional regulatory tax credits.

The company reports its Board has raised the dividend every year since 2011, producing a cumulative dividend increase of 200% and a compound annual dividend growth rate of 7.6% over that period. Management expects capital expenditures to remain elevated to support infrastructure for ongoing customer and load growth and states that dividend growth and earnings per share growth are expected to remain decoupled, with a target payout ratio of 50%–60% of IDACORP earnings.

IDACORP (NYSE: IDA) reported second quarter 2026 net income attributable to IDACORP of $102.6 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, up from $95.8 million, or $1.76 per share, a year earlier. For the first six months of 2026, net income rose to $170.6 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, from $155.4 million, or $2.87 per share, in 2025.
According to IDACORP, higher Idaho Power operating income was driven by increased retail revenues per MWh from base rate changes, customer growth of about 15,000 customers (2.3%), and higher usage and one new large contract customer. These benefits more than offset higher O&M, depreciation, non-operating expenses, and lower additional ADITC amortization. IDACORP raised the lower end of its 2026 earnings guidance to $6.30–$6.45 per diluted share and now expects Idaho Power to use less than $15 million of additional ADITC in 2026, down from prior expectations of less than $30 million.
