Eversource Energy (ISIN US30040W1080) was trading at EUR 57.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:28 a.m. CEST. The utility's latest strategic update points to more than USD 1 billion in storm-cost recoveries and a 4.90 percent dividend yield.
Recoveries strengthen the balance sheet
On October 1, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Eversource expects more than USD 1 billion of storm-cost cash recoveries from Connecticut and New Hampshire. Connecticut has approved USD 960 million, while the company expects another USD 500 million from New Hampshire, according to the report.
The same update put the utility's five-year capital plan at USD 26.5 billion. Eversource is also considering a USD 1 billion, five-year advanced-metering investment in Connecticut, but management wants clearer cost recovery before moving ahead.
Second-quarter numbers show pressure
Eversource reported USD 2.90 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 2.30 percent from the same period a year earlier. MarketBeat said quarterly earnings were USD 0.87 per share, matching consensus, while revenue came in below the USD 2.99 billion estimate. Finance statement data show consolidated net income of USD 55.6 million for the period.
The comparison matters because net income was far below the USD 608.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2026. The second-quarter margin was 2.00 percent, versus 14.00 percent in the first quarter, reflecting the earnings volatility facing the utility after asset sales and other charges.
Grid technology adds a growth angle
On September 29, 2026, Eversource said its DREAM initiative with Dartmouth Engineering was selected for negotiations under the U.S. Department of Energy SPARK program. The project could receive USD 47.70 million and would deploy dynamic line-rating technology across approximately 4,000 miles of transmission network beginning in 2027, pending a final award agreement.
