Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) is a Massachusetts-based public utility holding company that delivers electricity, natural gas, and water through four segments: Electric Distribution, Electric Transmission, Natural Gas Distribution, and Water Distribution. The company serves residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, and also operates solar power facilities within its portfolio.
The company was incorporated in 1927 and operated as Northeast Utilities until its 2015 rebranding to Eversource Energy. It trades on the NYSE under the ticker ES and is classified as a large-cap stock, with a market capitalization of roughly $25.8 billion, within the GICS Utilities sector and Electric Utilities sub-industry.
As a rate-regulated utility, Eversources earnings are largely governed by state public utility commissions in the territories it serves, which set allowed rates of return on capital invested in transmission, distribution, and water infrastructure. This regulated-monopoly structure generally produces stable, predictable cash flows anchored to the essential-service nature of energy and water delivery.
