What matters this quarter

Eversource reported Q2 2026 non-GAAP recurring EPS of $0.87 and reaffirmed its revised 2026 non-GAAP recurring EPS guidance of $4.57–$4.72 and long-term 5–7% EPS growth target (with trajectory toward the upper half by 2028); GAAP results were pressured by a $164.0M offshore wind contingent liability charge and a $111.4M Aquarion sale charge. The company completed the Aquarion divestiture for $1.7B in cash, was preliminarily selected for the ISO-NE LTTP transmission project ($2.2B), and Connecticut PURA approved the majority of storm costs for securitization.

  • AMI proposal in Connecticut shows negative NPV net benefit, raising execution risk for the ~$1 billion deployment.

One would conclude that on a sustainable basis that 28, 29, and 30 to get us to the upper half by the end of 2030.” John Morera, CFO
