With a market cap of $25.7 billion, Eversource Energy (ES) is a public utility holding company engaged in energy delivery through its Electric Distribution, Electric Transmission, Natural Gas Distribution, and Water Distribution segments across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. It is expected to unveil its fiscal Q4 2025 results soon.
Before the event, analysts anticipate the Springfield, Massachusetts-based company to report an adjusted EPS of $1.19, up 17.8% from $1.01 in the year-ago quarter. It has surpassed or met Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in the past four quarters.
For fiscal 2025, analysts expect the power provider to report adjusted EPS of $4.75, a rise of 3.9% from $4.57 in fiscal 2024. Moreover, adjusted EPS is projected to grow 4.8% year-over-year to $4.98 in fiscal 2026.
ES stock has soared 22.5% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 19.3% gain and the State Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLU) 14.7% increase over the same period.
Despite reporting better-than-expected Q3 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.19 on Nov. 4, Eversource Energy’s shares fell 1.2% the next day. The company took a $75 million (or $0.20 per share) charge tied to increased liability from its previously sold offshore wind projects, signaling lingering risks in its clean-energy transition.
Analysts' consensus rating on ES stock is cautious, with a "Hold" rating overall. Out of 16 analysts covering the stock, opinions include five "Strong Buys," eight "Holds," one "Moderate Sell," and two "Strong Sells."
