HARTFORD, Conn. and BOSTON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eversource Energy (NYSE:ES) (“Eversource”) today announced that it has successfully completed the sale of Aquarion Water Company (“AWC”), consistent with all regulatory terms and requirements, to Aquarion Water Authority (“AWA”), a quasi-public corporation and political subdivision of the State of Connecticut and a standalone water authority alongside the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (“RWA”). The total transaction purchase price was $2.4 billion cash. The adjusted net equity proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion will be used to displace Eversource debt, delivering on our commitment to strengthen the Eversource balance sheet.

On January 27, 2025, Eversource entered a definitive agreement to sell AWC to AWA. The sale was approved by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on March 25, 2026.

“We are pleased to close this transaction, which is a key piece of our commitment to further strengthen our balance sheet and credit profile,” said Eversource Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer John Moreira. “The sale of Aquarion constitutes a significant milestone in furthering our strategic position as a pure-play regulated pipes and wires utility, allowing us to optimize our portfolio by focusing on our core electric and natural gas operations across New England while efficiently reinvesting capital for the benefit of our customers. As we continue to collaborate with stakeholders across our service territories in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to deliver cost-effective solutions that ensure safe, reliable electric and natural gas service for our customers, we are confident that Aquarion’s operational success, sound management and financial stewardship will continue under the new authority model – benefitting residents, businesses and communities for years to come.”

As a result of the sale, Eversource expects to recognize an after-tax non-cash non-recurring charge of approximately $115 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter of 2026.   The Company's revised 2026 non-GAAP guidance of $4.57 per share to $4.72 per share includes the impact of the absence of Aquarion earnings. The Company continues to expect that its cumulative long-term earnings per share growth rate would be within the range of 5 to 7 percent through 2030, using the adjusted 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance mid-point of $4.65 per share as the base year. The Company expects annual earnings growth towards the upper half of its long-term guidance by 2028.

Citi and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisors to Eversource Energy. Ropes & Gray LLP served as legal counsel to Eversource Energy.  

This release includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) referencing earnings and EPS excluding the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and excluding a charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints. EPS by business is also a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole. Eversource Energy uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by business and to more fully compare and explain results without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and the charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints are not indicative of Eversource Energy’s ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not indicators of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non-GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy’s financial performance and provides additional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. Eversource Energy does not provide a reconciliation of guidance from non-GAAP recurring earnings or non-GAAP recurring EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders or recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

This release also includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.

HARTFORD, Conn. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eversource Energy will host an earnings conference call with financial analysts on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, to discuss the company's financial performance and other business updates for the first quarter of 2026. The live webcast and recording of the earnings conference call can be accessed via Eversource's Investors page. Investors and analysts wishing to participate in the Q&A session of the call and access the event via pho.

Eversource (ES) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.

Evergy (EVRG) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

ES' heads into first-quarter earnings results with smart meter installs, transmission investments and disciplined costs in focus, though higher interest expenses may have affected gains.

Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.73 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.59 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.5 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +9.08%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this New England power provider would post earnings of $1.1 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.12, delivering a surprise of +1.82%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Eversource, which belongs to the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry, posted revenues of $4.5 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.90%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.12 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Eversource shares have added about 2.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%.

What's Next for Eversource?While Eversource has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Eversource was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.99 on $3.04 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.72 on $14.42 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Utility - Electric Power is currently in the bottom 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

PPL (PPL - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 8.

This energy and utility holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

PPL's revenues are expected to be $2.62 billion, up 4.7% from the year-ago quarter.
