ES Stock and Options Trade Setup — Eversource Energy
NYSE · Regulated Electric & Gas Utilities — New England · Moderate options liquidity · Large cap · ~$21B
Eversource went through a painful reset in 2023-24 after its offshore wind joint ventures generated large losses, requiring a $1.4B+ impairment and a dividend cut. That reset is now largely complete — offshore wind exposure has been monetized, the balance sheet has been right-sized, and management is re-focusing on its core regulated utility franchise. New England electric demand is growing driven by building electrification and data center expansion in Massachusetts. The remaining regulated operations generate stable, rate-base-growth earnings that the prior offshore wind overhang was masking. For contrarian options traders, the valuation reset creates a base with asymmetric upside as the earnings quality narrative normalizes. The dividend has been stabilized and is expected to resume growth.

ES Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is ES a good options trade today?+
Eversource Energy (ES) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 62/100, ranking it top 40%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a watchlist setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is ES's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
ES's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 59%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past ES trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for ES?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the ES setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh ES's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If ES drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for ES?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to ES: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is ES outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. ES currently scores 62.
How does ES compare to other Regulated Electric & Gas Utilities — New England setups?+
