Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Eversource Energy reported a third-quarter 2024 GAAP net loss of $118.1 million, or $0.33 per share, compared with earnings of $339.7 million, or $0.97 per share, a year earlier, due to losses on its offshore wind investments. Excluding those items, non-GAAP recurring earnings rose to $405.9 million, or $1.13 per share, and the company updated its 2024 non-GAAP EPS projection to $4.52 to $4.60 from $4.50 to $4.67. The results matter to shareholders because the GAAP loss reflects the completed exit from offshore wind, while the company reaffirmed 5% to 7% long-term EPS growth.
