Eversource Energy
Eversource Energy (ES) is a regulated utility serving customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, operating electricity transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution and water services. Its regulated model typically delivers stable, predictable cash flows supported by rate-setting with state regulators and ongoing capital investment to maintain and upgrade networks. Investors often look to Eversource for income potential — the company has a track record of paying dividends — and for steady, defensive exposure in a diversified portfolio. Key drivers include regulated rate cases, grid modernisation spending and weather patterns, while headwinds include regulatory outcomes, extreme weather, commodity price volatility for non-regulated segments and interest-rate sensitivity. As with any investment, past performance is not a guide to the future.

- Baird Financial Group boosted its stake in ES, signaling confidence in the utility giant's long-term stability despite sector challenges[1].
- Quarterly dividend held at $0.7525 per share (4.5% yield), with ex-date December 17, providing reliable income amid market volatility[1].
