Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
ES is set to report Q4 results Feb. 12, with consensus EPS of $1.11 and revenues of $3.53 billion.
ES may benefit from load growth, electrification, grid modernization and a $62M gas rate approval.
ES faces pressure from higher O&M costs, a 7.1M-share equity issuance, and the rejected Aquarion sale.
Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 12, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 6.25% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Q4 Expectations for ES
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.11 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 9.90%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $3.53 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 18.86%.
Factors Likely to Have Impacted ES’ Q4 Earnings
Eversource Energy’s fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from load growth with rising electrification and economic expansion, grid modernization and decarbonization. Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts, as per approval, implemented a new rate of nearly $62 million in November 2025, which is likely to have a positive impact on fourth-quarter earnings.
During the quarter, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority unanimously rejected Eversource Energy's $2.4 billion sale of Aquarion Water Company, which is likely to have an adverse impact on the current quarter’s performance and future plans.
Higher operation and maintenance expenses may have partially offset these positive impacts in the fourth quarter. The 7.1 million equity issuance through September 2025 is also likely to have a dilutive impact on fourth-quarter earnings.
