Eversource Energy stock dividends

Recently Eversource Energy has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Eversource Energy shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eversource Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.82 per share.

Eversource Energy's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Eversource Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 17 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Eversource Energy stocks, which in turn could have impacted Eversource Energy's stock price.
