Quarterly figures set the baseline

Southern Company's second-quarter results provide the latest reported operating comparison. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue reached USD 6.98 billion, compared with USD 6.97 billion in the year-earlier quarter, while net profit rose to USD 1.17 billion from USD 880.00 million, according to Markets Insider. The same report said quarterly earnings were USD 1.13 per share versus a USD 1.01 consensus estimate. Revenue therefore remained nearly flat, while earnings improved against the prior-year comparison.

Price position gives more context

The USD 89.57 NYSE quote was 10.04 percent below Southern Company's 52-week high of USD 99.58 and 9.64 percent above its USD 81.69 low on October 19, 2026. The stock was down 1.77 percent in the session, with 857,610 shares traded against an average volume of 5,964,035 shares. The euro quote's bid was EUR 79.88 and its ask was EUR 80.12 at the Lang & Schwarz timestamp.

Valuation and reporting date

Southern Company had a market capitalization of USD 103.0 billion, a trailing P/E ratio of 21.64 and a trailing dividend yield of 3.00 percent in the October 19, 2026 quote. A separate market overview places the next results date on November 5, 2026, with a consensus earnings-per-share estimate of USD 1.70, according to MetaCap. That date gives the analyst target a near-term reporting checkpoint.

Comparison with peers

Southern Company (NYSE, USD): minus 0.87 percent, P/E 21.64, market capitalization USD 103.0 billion

Duke Energy (NYSE, USD): minus 1.77 percent, P/E 17.95, market capitalization USD 93.0 billion

American Electric Power (NYSE, USD): minus 1.56 percent, P/E 21.69, market capitalization USD 68.1 billion

Trading level and investor income

Southern Company's valuation is close to American Electric Power's multiple, while Duke Energy trades at a lower P/E ratio. The 3.27 percent dividend yield cited by the market overview and the November reporting date add two concrete reference points beyond the daily move.

Next date for the stock

The next scheduled results date is November 5, 2026. Until then, the USD 101.00 Goldman Sachs target and the gap between Southern Company's revenue and earnings trends remain the clearest dated reference points. Southern Company stock was trading at EUR 80.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 4:38 p.m. CEST, 0.87 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026.
