Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $26.4b. 8% off the 52-week high of $76.57. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $73.58 (implying +5% upside).
Moat
Moat signals from the quantitative card are modest — profitability and capital efficiency are middle-of-pack. The thesis here depends on softer factors (switching costs, brand, distribution, regulatory protection) not captured by the quality-growth screen.
Risk
Dividend payout 80% of earnings on a 4.4% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
Horizon
1-3 yr $73.58 (12-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $107.73 at ~9% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $159.82 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Forward EPS estimate$4.91

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect ES to earn is drifting lower (-1.1%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →
