Ariel Global Fund Ariel Investments, LLC | “Lastly, we initiated a position in Eversource Energy (ES), a regulated utility serving customers across Connecticut, New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts. Following a challenging year, we thought the divestiture of non-core assets and the completion of a major offshore wind project would contribute to greater operational stability. However, when these leading indicators were no longer moving in the right direction, we exited the position. BSD Analysis: Eversource is a regulated utility caught between massive grid investment needs and political resistance to higher rates. Storm costs, offshore wind issues, and regulatory friction crushed sentiment. Yet electrification and grid modernization are non-negotiable over the next decade. The asset base remains essential infrastructure, not optional spend. Management missteps are being priced like permanent impairment. Capital spending will eventually earn returns, even if delayed. Utilities rarely die — they just suffer publicly for a while. If regulatory relationships stabilize, valuation rerates quietly. This is pain before normalization, not collapse.” | BEAR | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
