Data provided by Twelve Data. Scores are computed by Lemma Analysis from reported financials.
We cannot judge Eversource Energy yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

On the filings behind it, Eversource Energy earns 3.5 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is low quality on our scale. A low reading means the reported numbers show weakness on several pillars at once, which is a reason to understand the business before anything else. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Ranked with the 52 Utilities companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 24th percentile, near the foot of the group. A typical company in the group scores 3.9, and the best quarter starts from 4.4. Eversource Energy is in line with that typical reading.
On profitability, Eversource Energy scores 4.7, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.8 across 49 Utilities companies, which places it in line with them, at the 46th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency scores 1.7 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 2.9, so Eversource Energy is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 4th percentile. Weak solvency means debt is heavy relative to earnings or cash flow, which makes the business more sensitive to interest rates and to any fall in profits.
Growth scores 5.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 47 Utilities companies is 4.9, so Eversource Energy is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 74th percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.
Efficiency scores 2.6 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 51 Utilities companies is 3.0, so Eversource Energy is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 24th percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.
On predictability, Eversource Energy scores 2.5, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 3.5 across 51 Utilities companies, which places it below them, at the 30th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
This is a lopsided profile. Growth scores 5.6 but solvency only 1.7, a gap of 3.9 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A solvency shortfall makes the business more exposed to rising rates and to a weak year.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Utilities companies, 2.9, Eversource Energy’s overall score would go from 3.5 to about 3.7. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
These are the Utilities companies closest to Eversource Energy in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
