Unitil Corp (UTL) (Q2 2026) Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Margin Growth

Unitil Corp’s Q2 2026 earnings call covered the Aquarion acquisitions. CFO Daniel Hurstak said incremental CapEx relates only to the New Hampshire Aquarion companies and is expected to be neutral to consolidated EPS after financing effects. For Massachusetts, Eversource Energy will file a rate case. CEO Thomas Meissner said the company remains open to further expansion and expects natural gas’s price advantage to support growth in Maine.

Electricity Utility Rates Increased Aug. 1. How Will Massachusetts Be Affected?

Eversource cites higher market costs; most households are not on basic service.
