Deep Analysis

Return on equity (ROE) measures how much profit a company generates for each dollar of shareholders’ equity; a 10.9% ROE means the company earned $10.90 for every $100 of equity.

This figure sits below the sector median of 14.1%, placing ES in the 39th percentile among its peers—meaning 61% of sector companies deliver a higher return on equity. Year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change shows a +4.8% improvement from 10.4% last quarter to 10.9% currently. The combination of a below-median ROE with a modest upward quarterly trend suggests a mixed risk profile: the profitability level is weak relative to peers, but the recent improvement hints at potential stabilization. This metric neither strongly supports nor contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict—the below-median level is a concern, yet the positive quarterly movement provides a counterbalance that aligns with a neutral assessment.
