Eversource Q2 GAAP EPS $0.14, Down from $0.96; Reaffirms 2026 Guidance

AI Summary

Eversource Energy reported Q2 2026 GAAP earnings of $0.14 per share, a significant decrease from $0.96 per share in Q2 2025. This decline was primarily due to a $111.4 million after-tax charge from the sale of Aquarion Water Company and a $164.0 million after-tax charge related to an increase in offshore wind contingent liability. Despite the GAAP impact, 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. A conference call with financial analysts is scheduled for July 31, 2026, to discuss these results.
