Eversource Q2 GAAP EPS $0.14, Down 85%; Aquarion Sale, Wind Charge

AI Summary

Eversource Energy reported Q2 2026 GAAP earnings of $53.7 million, or $0.14 per share, a significant decrease from $352.7 million, or $0.96 per share, in Q2 2025. This decline was primarily due to a $111.4 million non-cash charge from the sale of Aquarion Water Company and a $164.0 million charge related to an increase in offshore wind contingent liability. Despite the GAAP impact, non-GAAP recurring earnings for Q2 2026 totaled $329.1 million, or $0.87 per share. The company reaffirmed its 2026 non-GAAP recurring earnings guidance of $4.57 to $4.72 per share and its long-term EPS growth rate of 5-7% through 2030, citing the completion of the Aquarion divestiture and new transmission opportunities.
