It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.

Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.

Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Eversource Energy, earlier known as Northeast Utilities, engages in the energy delivery business. The company was founded in 1927. It transmits and delivers electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Eversource Energy is currently trading under the ticker symbol “ES” instead of “NU”. The company’s headquarters have remained at Hartford, CT and Boston, MA.

ES is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of A. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 13.5X for the current fiscal year compared to the Utility - Electric Power industry's P/E 17.9X. Additionally, ES has a PEG Ratio of 2.4 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 6.9X. Value investors should also note ES' Price/Sales ratio of 1.8X.

Value investors don't just pay attention to a company's valuation ratios; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. Three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0 to $4.73. ES has an average earnings surprise of 2.9%.

With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding ES to their portfolios.
