The business behind the stock
Eversource Energy is a Fortune 500 energy company headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, with additional corporate offices in Hartford, Connecticut and Boston. Through its regulated subsidiaries, it provides retail electricity, natural gas and water services to roughly 4 million residential, commercial and industrial customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The company’s core earnings base stems from regulated transmission and distribution infrastructure, including electric grids, gas pipelines and water networks.
