The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CNLHP): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score

Is CNLHP undervalued?

The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CNLHP) closed at 35.00 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 9 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 20,848.25, which puts the price 100% below it. 9 of the 9 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.

There is a wide gap between DDM (47.67) and 10 Cap (129,142.83). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.

The nightly engine files CNLHP under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health

The Connecticut Light and Power Company scores 5 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability CNLHP scores 6.5/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.

Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.2%, ROE 7.2%, ROA 2.7% - with debt at 1.27 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 772097.6%.

The dividend yield is high at 6.25% (payout ratio 534%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Residential 41%, Commercial 28%, Other Revenue Adjustments from Contract… 13% (quarter Q2 FY2026).

Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 39: No options
