AI-extracted from the 10-Q filed 2026-08-03 — Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Eversource earned just $53.7M ($0.14/share) in Q2 2026, down from $352.7M ($0.96/share) a year ago, as a $111.4M after-tax Aquarion sale charge and a $164.0M after-tax offshore wind charge overwhelmed steady distribution revenue growth.

Margins: Operating income fell to $540.9M from $663.0M a year ago, driven by the $111.4M Aquarion sale charge, higher purchased power/transmission and depreciation costs, and the FERC-mandated ROE reduction, partially offset by distribution rate increases.
Watch Items from the Filing
FERC's March 19, 2026 decision cut the allowed transmission base ROE from 10.57% to 9.57%, with an estimated pre-tax refund exposure of $62.0M to $968.4M (only $62.0M accrued); the reduction is expected to cut future annual after-tax earnings by ~$70M.
Eversource recorded a $194M pre-tax charge in Q2 2026 (total contingent liability $409.2M) to cover cost overruns on the Revolution Wind project sold to GIP, and further cost increases remain possible.
Completed the $2.4B sale of Aquarion on June 30, 2026, generating ~$1.7B of net proceeds earmarked to reduce Eversource parent debt.
CL&P filed a base distribution rate case on July 14, 2026 seeking ~$451M in additional annual revenue (plus storm cost recovery), with a PURA decision expected by June 29, 2027.
PURA's July 29, 2026 decision approved $869.4M of CL&P's $974.2M requested storm costs but denied carrying-cost recovery for the deferral period, with the P&L impact to be recorded in Q3 2026.
