Eversource Set to Report Q2 as $26.5 Billion Capex Plan Fuels Breakout Hopes

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jul 30

Summary

  • $3 billion in Q2 revenue and $0.90 in EPS are the key Wall Street targets for Eversource’s earnings report due after Thursday’s close, with investors watching for any guidance change.
  • The setup has improved after Eversource exited offshore wind, lifted GAAP EPS to $4.56 in 2025, and closed the June 30 sale of Aquarion to become a pure-play regulated electric and gas utility.
  • $26.5 billion of planned investment from 2026 to 2030 underpins the growth case, as New England power demand rises and management targets 5% to 7% EPS growth through 2030.
  • A cut in allowed transmission return on equity to 9.57% already forced a lower 2026 EPS outlook of $4.57 to $4.72, but Eversource still beat Q1 estimates with $1.73 in non-GAAP EPS.
  • Shares have climbed 11.2% in three months and recently broke above $71, with technical resistance near $75 as earnings could determine whether the move extends.

Insights
