NSTAR ELECTRIC CO — Financial Data
Annual figures from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings (10-K)
These figures are extracted directly from XBRL-tagged financial statements that NSTAR ELECTRIC CO filed with the SEC as part of its annual 10-K reports. XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a structured data format the SEC requires for machine-readable financial disclosures. Values shown are as reported — negative figures indicate a loss and are shown in red.
Net Income
The bottom-line profit — what remains after all operating expenses, interest, taxes, and other costs are deducted. A negative value means the company reported a net loss for the year.
