AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Eversource Energy (ES)

Eversource Q1 GAAP EPS rises to $1.61 but 2026 non-GAAP guidance is cut

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Eversource reported first-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $606.8 million, or $1.61 per share, up from $1.50 a year earlier, after a $43.9 million after-tax charge tied to a FERC return-on-equity decision. The company also cut its 2026 non-GAAP recurring earnings guidance to $4.57 to $4.72 per share from $4.80 to $4.95, which matters to shareholders because it lowers expected earnings for the year.

Key points

  • Q1 2026 GAAP earnings were $606.8 million, or $1.61 per share, versus $550.8 million, or $1.50 per share, in Q1 2025
  • Non-GAAP recurring earnings were $1.73 per share, excluding the $0.12 per share FERC ROE refund charge
  • 2026 non-GAAP recurring EPS guidance revised to $4.57 to $4.72 from $4.80 to $4.95, following a FERC order that cut the New England transmission base ROE from 10.57% to 9.57%
  • Board approved a common dividend of $0.7875 per share, payable June 30, 2026, to holders of record as of May 18, 2026
