Top 10 scores & list membership
ES is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
42.1 #767 of 987 scored · #42 of 55 in Utilities
Valuation 74th (price to book 1.6, price to earnings 18.2) and growth 46th (revenue growth year over year 7.8%, 3-year revenue CAGR 3.3%); weakest is financial health (14th, free cash flow margin 2.1%, debt to equity 1.8).
Short-term score
43.5 #1208 of 1,704 scored · #39 of 59 in Utilities
Volume and participation 74th: trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average; setup 53rd: over the past year its closes ranged, and it has retraced roughly a third of its move over the past year — 45% of it; weakest is trend 27th: the price is 4% below the average price paid over the period covered, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.
Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Not assessable from available data. ES paid a dividend in FY2025, but coverage cannot be assessed from the available data (net_income_unavailable, non_positive_free_cash_flow).
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings not reported
- Free-cash-flow payoutnot assessable free cash flow was not positive that year
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Eversource Energy looks technically
Eversource Energy (ES) is trading 0.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 28 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-06-22, breaking below its recent trading range.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 0.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $72.56 | $72.56 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $70.36 | $70.36 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 28 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 28 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 19.5 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 37.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($70.14 to $73.16) — its "stochastic" reading is 2 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 2.3 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 25 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $76.57 | $76.57 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 8.3% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -8.3% |

| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-06-22, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 19 trading days ago | 19 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $99.42 (set on 2020-02-20) | $99.42 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($62.86 to $76.21), and it has given back roughly a third of its rise from last year’s low — 45% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $67.53 to $67.96. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 44.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 29.4% below its all-time high | -29.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.2% below a resistance level at $71.06 — a price it turned at 8 times since 2025-10-14, most recently on 2026-08-11. Since 2024-08-21 it has 7 such levels below the current price and 4 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $17.16 (set on 2008-10-10) | $17.16 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 309.1% above its all-time low | +309.1% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 52nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.40 between its high and its low — about 2.0% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.40 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $69.90 and $74.97 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $69.90 – $72.43 – $74.97 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.0% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (0.2% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 0.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 1.5% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.7% of the share price. | -1.5% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 1% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $70.66 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-01 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $73.08 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 37 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.9% |
Price levels it has turned at before
ES last closed at $70.21 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 7 prices below its last close and 4 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.

- Consensus EPS estimate$1.03 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-19
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
