Eversource Energy has completed the sale of Aquarion Water Company to the Aquarion Water Authority for a total cash purchase price of $2.4 billion. After transaction adjustments, the company expects approximately $1.7 billion of net equity proceeds, which it plans to use to reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet.
As a result of the sale, Eversource expects to record an after-tax, non-cash, non-recurring charge of about $115 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter of 2026. The company updated its 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance to $4.57–$4.72 per share, reflecting the absence of Aquarion earnings, and reiterated a targeted long-term EPS growth rate of 5–7 percent through 2030 based on a $4.65 per-share midpoint.
Eversource Energy reported stronger first quarter 2026 results, with GAAP net income of $606.8 million and earnings of $1.61 per share, up from $550.8 million and $1.50 per share a year earlier. Non-GAAP recurring earnings were $650.7 million, or $1.73 per share.
Results included a $43.9 million after-tax FERC refund charge tied to a reduction in allowed transmission return on equity from 10.57% to 9.57%. The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.7875 per share. Operating revenues rose to $4.50 billion, driven by higher earnings across transmission, electric and natural gas distribution, and water.
The company revised its 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $4.57 to $4.72 per share and reaffirmed a 5–7 percent annual earnings growth target through 2030. Shareholders re-elected nine trustees, approved executive compensation and auditor ratification, and rejected a proposal for an independent board chair.
Eversource Energy reports a new federal ruling that lowers its allowed return on equity for New England transmission assets and updates its earnings outlook. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission set a base ROE of 9.57% and a 12.09% cap for transmission incentives, and may require customer refunds over 18 to 24 months. Eversource expects these ROE changes and related incentives to reduce its 2026 future after-tax earnings by about $70 million. After factoring in the ROE decision and a potential Aquarion sale, the company now targets 2026 non-GAAP earnings of $4.57 to $4.72 per share, implying a midpoint of $4.65. Using this midpoint as a base, Eversource projects long-term earnings per share growth of 5% to 7% annually through 2030 and anticipates growth toward the upper half of that range by 2028. The company is pursuing legal and regulatory options, including a motion for stay, a possible rehearing request, and a potential Section 205 filing to propose updated rates.
Eversource Energy reported that on February 26, 2026 it issued two long-dated junior subordinated debt series: $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Junior Subordinated Notes, Series A, Due 2056 and $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Junior Subordinated Notes, Series B, Due 2056. These unsecured obligations were sold under an Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2026 with a syndicate led by major investment banks. The Series A Notes were issued under a First Supplemental Indenture and the Series B Notes under a Second Supplemental Indenture, each dated February 1, 2026 and supplementing a base Junior Subordinated Note Indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

Eversource Energy reported a strong rebound in 2025 results, with GAAP earnings of $1.69 billion, or $4.56 per share, up from $811.7 million, or $2.27 per share, in 2024. Non-GAAP recurring earnings rose to $1.77 billion, or $4.76 per share, compared with $1.63 billion, or $4.57 per share, the prior year, reflecting growth after excluding large offshore wind and Aquarion-related losses.
Fourth-quarter 2025 earnings were $421.3 million, or $1.12 per share, versus $72.5 million, or $0.20 per share, in 2024, helped by the absence of prior-year charges and better underlying performance in natural gas and electric distribution. For 2025, transmission earned $776.7 million, electric distribution $667.1 million, natural gas distribution $360.5 million and water distribution $44.2 million.
The company issued 2026 EPS guidance of $4.80–$4.95 per share and targets 5–7 percent long-term earnings-per-share growth through 2030, based on 2025 non-GAAP EPS. Eversource outlined a $26.5 billion capital investment plan for 2026–2030 and expects to raise $800 million to $1.1 billion of equity over that period while maintaining credit metrics above downgrade thresholds.
Eversource Energy and its utility subsidiaries updated their Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, effective January 27, 2026. The boards approved an Amended and Restated Code that modernizes descriptions of auditor oversight and compliance programs and makes clarifying, stylistic, non-substantive revisions.
The updated code now explicitly assigns ongoing oversight responsibility to the Audit Committee, aligning with current best practices. The company states that responsibilities and obligations for senior financial officers are not materially changed and no waivers of the prior code were granted. The full text is available on Eversource Energy’s investor relations website.
Eversource Energy appointed Warren Robert Mudge to its Board of Trustees, effective January 1, 2026. He will serve on the Audit Committee and the Finance and Risk Management Committee, with an initial term running until the company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May 2026.
Mudge will receive an annual cash retainer of $125,000 for Board service. On January 15, 2026, he is expected to receive a grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Eversource Incentive Plan, calculated by dividing $175,000 by the average closing price of Eversource common shares over the 10 trading days before the grant date. He brings extensive telecom and operations experience, including senior roles at Verizon Communications and leadership positions at Brightspeed Communications and other telecom companies.
The Board also named David H. Long as Chair of the Governance, Environmental and Sustainability Committee, effective January 1, 2026, and approved updates to its Corporate Governance Guidelines to clarify the Lead Independent Trustee’s responsibilities.
Eversource Energy filed an 8-K to report that it issued a news release about a regulatory setback in Connecticut. The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority decided to reject the proposed sale of Aquarion Water Company to the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority. The filing primarily informs investors that this decision has occurred and that further details are available in the attached news release dated November 21, 2025.
Eversource Energy (ES) furnished an 8‑K announcing its unaudited results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2025, along with related subsidiary information. The company attached a news release as Exhibit 99.1 and a financial report as Exhibit 99.2. These materials are furnished under Item 2.02 and are not deemed “filed” unless specified otherwise.
Management will host a webcast on November 5, 2025 to discuss financial performance, with presentation slides provided as Exhibit 99.3. The filing covers Eversource and utility subsidiaries including The Connecticut Light and Power Company, NSTAR Electric Company, and Public Service Company of New Hampshire.
Eversource Energy announced the issuance of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.45% Senior Notes, Series HH, due 2030. The unsecured notes were issued under a supplemental indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement with a syndicate led by major banks.
Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15, 2026, until maturity in 2030. The company filed the underwriting agreement and supplemental indenture as exhibits, along with a legal opinion confirming the validity of the notes.
Eversource Energy (ES) updated investors on offshore wind liabilities tied to its prior sale of South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind interests to GIP. Based on revised construction cost projections for Revolution Wind, the company currently estimates an approximately $285 million increase to its post-closing purchase price adjustment liability, driven by known cost overruns including wind turbine installation vessel damage, higher insurance costs, and a BOEM stop‑work order from August 22 to September 22, 2025.
As a result, Eversource expects to record an aggregate, net after‑tax non‑recurring charge of approximately $75 million, or $0.20 per share, in the third quarter of 2025. The charge reflects the $285 million liability increase partially offset by an approximately $210 million federal tax benefit linked to tax losses on the sale. Eversource previously recorded a $365 million contingent liability as of September 30, 2024, which was $296 million as of June 30, 2025. Completion of Revolution Wind continues to be expected in the second half of 2026.
