May 7, 2026mda_quarterlyEversource acquired 2,522 common shares through open market purchases between January 1 and March 31, 2026, with all transactions occurring in March. The shares were purchased at an average price of $68.38 per share to fund matching contributions under the Eversource 401k Plan. These acquisitions were not conducted as part of any publicly announced share repurchase plans or programs.
Feb 17, 2026businessEversource Energy is a regulated utility holding company providing electric distribution, electric transmission, natural gas distribution, and water services across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Its electric distribution segment includes CL&P, NSTAR Electric, and PSNH, while its natural gas business comprises NSTAR Gas, EGMA, and Yankee Gas. Following a strategic shift in 2024, the company divested its primary offshore wind interests, retaining only a noncontrolling tax equity investment in South Fork Wind. The company faces significant regulatory and transitional risks as it navigates decarbonization mandates, such as the "Future of Gas" docket in Massachusetts and aggressive state-level net-zero targets. Key financial exposures include ongoing FERC proceedings regarding transmission Return on Equity (ROE) and environmental liabilities, specifically $154.3 million in recorded remediation costs for former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. To address physical climate risks and support electrification, Eversource is prioritizing grid modernization, system hardening, and resiliency investments. The company has also committed to achieving net-zero emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2050, aligning its capital expenditures with regional clean energy transitions and evolving renewable portfolio standards.
Feb 17, 2026risk_factorsEversource Energy faces significant regulatory, operational, and environmental risks across its electric, natural gas, and water segments. A primary concern is the regulatory environment, specifically regarding rate-setting and cost recovery by state agencies (PURA, DPU, NHPUC) and federal oversight by FERC. Pending FERC complaints challenging transmission Return on Equity (ROE) in New England present material uncertainty for transmission revenue. Additionally, the company faces contingent liabilities following the sale of its interests in the Revolution Wind and South Fork Wind projects, including potential cost-overrun sharing and risks related to the monetization of federal investment tax credits. Climate change poses both physical risks, such as extreme weather events and water supply contamination (PFAS/lead), and transitional risks, including aggressive state decarbonization mandates like the Massachusetts "Future of Gas" docket. Cybersecurity remains a critical threat as attackers increasingly use AI to target utility infrastructure. Operationally, the company must manage supply chain volatility, specialized labor requirements, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Financial stability is further tied to interest rate fluctuations, credit rating maintenance, and the ability to access capital markets to fund large-scale infrastructure investments.
