DEMANDING

50

out of 100

Eversource Energy earns a fundamental-quality score of 50 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 10.4%). Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 5.16× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Eversource Energy is New England's big utility: power, gas and water networks across Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. After selling its offshore-wind adventure at painful losses, it went back to basics: being a pure regulated utility in the country's priciest rate region.

What will shape its future

  • Regulated rates in three demanding states, its perpetual negotiation.
  • Grid investment for New England's electrification, its approved growth.
  • The offshore-wind hangover: balance sheet and credibility under reconstruction.
