Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Eversource Energy is a regulated utility focused on electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution networks in New England. Following the completion of the Aquarion sale on June 30, 2026, the company became more focused on a regulated "pipes and wires" model, with capital investments directed toward electric and gas infrastructure and their costs and returns recovered through regulatory frameworks. Its earnings drivers include electric transmission, electric distribution, and gas distribution, while it does not earn a profit on the cost of energy supplies themselves.
In Q2 FY2026, Eversource reported revenue of $2.9 billion, net income of $55.6 million, and GAAP EPS of $0.14. Recurring EPS was $0.87 versus $0.96 in the comparable quarter, as the FERC decision reduced the return of the electric transmission segment and the gas distribution segment was affected by the absence of a benefit from recoverable expenses recorded in the comparable period, while higher electric distribution revenue partially offset this pressure. The provided data did not include a gross profit or gross margin figure.
Reported results in Q2 FY2026 were affected by a non-cash after-tax charge of $111.4 million related to Aquarion's carrying value and another charge of $164 million for an increase in the potential obligation associated with the Revolution Wind project. On a trailing-twelve-month basis in 2026, revenue was $14.0 billion, net income was $1.5 billion, and EPS was approximately $3.86, compared with revenue of $13.5 billion, net income of $1.7 billion, and EPS of $4.56 in FY2025.

The average analyst price target is $73.8, within a narrow range of $72 to $76, with the high end of the target range slightly below the 52-week high of $76.57, while the range low is $62.45. The "Neutral" consensus reflects a balance between the $21.5 billion capital plan and improved balance sheet on one hand, and the reduced transmission return, the risk of an $880 million refund, and Revolution Wind-related charges on the other. No valid price-to-earnings ratio was provided, so it cannot be used to assess valuation.

Eversource targets compound annual EPS growth of 5%–7% through 2030, moving toward the upper half of the range by 2028. This is supported by a $21.5 billion regulated infrastructure investment plan, alongside historical rate-base growth of slightly more than 8% annually. For FY2026, the company reaffirmed a non-GAAP EPS range of $4.52–$4.72.
Eversource closed the sale of Aquarion on June 30, 2026 and generated net proceeds of $1.7 billion. It intends to use these proceeds to refinance parent-company debt, supporting its focus on regulated electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution operations. As of June 30, 2026, funds from operations-to-debt ratios were 14.3% according to S&P and 15.7% according to Moody’s, and Moody’s revised its outlook from negative to stable.
The FERC decision reduced the base return on equity for electric transmission to 9.57%, pressuring transmission-segment earnings in Q2 FY2026. The company revised its FY2026 EPS guidance to $4.52–$4.72 to include the impact of the lower return and the Aquarion sale. Eversource is challenging the decision, but an additional refund of $880 million remains possible if the legal and regulatory proceedings are unsuccessful.
ISO New England preliminarily selected the Eversource and Avangrid proposal to increase transmission capacity between Maine and New Hampshire and strengthen the connection between northern and southern New England. The project will cost $2.2 billion, with Eversource’s share estimated at approximately $700 million and an expected in-service date in 2032. Management said approximately half of the company’s capital share could fall within its forecast period through 2030 if the selection becomes final.
GAAP EPS was $0.14 in Q2 FY2026, while recurring EPS was $0.87. Results included a non-cash after-tax charge of $111.4 million related to Aquarion’s carrying value, in addition to a charge of $164 million for an increase in the potential obligation associated with Revolution Wind. After excluding these two items, recurring EPS remained below the $0.96 recorded in the comparable period because of weaker electric transmission and gas distribution earnings.
The Revolution Wind project was approximately 97% complete as of July 31, 2026 and was delivering more than 300 megawatts to the ISO New England grid toward a capacity of 704 megawatts. However, the two stop-work orders resulted in the loss of the installation vessel and the need to remobilize it, contributing to an after-tax charge of $164 million in Q2 FY2026. Management confirmed that all installation components are available and is targeting the project’s entry into service in 2026, but the recorded increase demonstrates the sensitivity of results to any further change in the potential obligation.
