Eversource Energy's (ES) stock has notably underperformed peers this past year. But how does it genuinely measure up against rivals in today's dynamic energy market? A deeper dive uncovers robust operating profitability (LTM Operating Margin of 22.23%) and a more attractive valuation (PE Ratio of 18.18) compared to many peers. Growth in revenue is steady (LTM Revenue Growth of 13.12%), while free cash flow, though negative (-3.99% LTM FCF Margin), is better than many competitors. This points to a stable utility, yet potential upside might be constrained if growth leaders keep dominating.
ES's 22.2% operating margin signals efficient utility operations, though CNP (22.5%) may reflect better grid modernization efficiency.ES's 13.1% revenue growth is solid; DTE/AEE's higher growth may reflect significant clean energy investments & AI demand.ES's 8.7% stock gain and 18.2 PE trail peers, likely due to Connecticut regulatory setbacks and rising interest rate concerns.
