Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Edison International operates a regulated electric grid and serves customers in California through its utility, Southern California Edison, and its earnings capacity is based on regulator-approved investments in infrastructure replacement, grid hardening against wildfires, and meeting growing demand associated with electrification. The capital spending plan supports long-term growth of approximately 7% in the regulated asset base, while the company balances safety, reliability, and electricity affordability.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, reported earnings per share were $1.54 versus $0.97 in the comparable period, while core earnings per share were $1.04 and first-half core earnings per share reached $2.97. The company attributed the improvement to stable core operations, prior regulatory decisions including the General Rate Case decision, and lower interest expense associated with the recovery of Woolsey Fire costs; the contribution from the parent company and other activities was better by $0.06 per share due to financing benefits related to preferred stock redemptions.
The provided second-quarter fiscal year 2026 data do not include revenue or net income figures, so the EDGAR filings for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 provide the latest reference for these two items: revenue of $4.1 billion, net income of $531 million, and earnings per share of $1.37. For fiscal year 2025, Edison International recorded revenue of $19.3 billion, net income of $4.5 billion, and earnings per share of $11.55, while the second-quarter call confirms that SCE, regulatory decisions, and financing costs were the primary drivers of the earnings mix.
The average analyst price target is $73.8, within a wide range of $62 to $86, compared with a 52-week range of $52 to $81.62; the average is approximately 9.6% below the top of the range, while the highest target exceeds that peak by approximately 5.4%. The data describe the overall consensus as Buy, but the August 19, 2026 report indicated that analysts maintained Hold ratings because of regulatory and wildfire risks. Therefore, the target range reflects a fundamental difference in how regulated asset base and earnings-per-share growth are weighed against Eaton liabilities and the potential for a higher cost of capital.

Reported earnings per share were $1.54 versus $0.97 in the comparable period, and core earnings per share were $1.04. The results benefited from the prior General Rate Case decision and continued lower interest expense associated with the recovery of Woolsey Fire costs. The loss from the parent company and other activities was also better by $0.06 per share due to financing benefits related to preferred stock redemptions.
On July 30, 2026, management reaffirmed the fiscal year 2026 core earnings per share range of $5.90–$6.20. First-half core earnings per share were $2.97, but management said that two quarters of performance do not represent the full-year result. It also reaffirmed its long-term core earnings per share growth target of 5%–7%, supported by the investment plan and regulatory framework.
The company said on July 30, 2026 that liability was probable and that SCE equipment was likely associated with the events based on the information available at the time. The number of legal claims exceeded 30,000, while the WRCP program made more than 2,200 offers worth over $775 million to more than 12,300 individuals. The available volume of claims and settlements was insufficient to estimate the minimum liability, despite the settlement of two insurer claims at approximately $0.55 per dollar of claim.

SCE hardened approximately 90% of the 16,800 miles of distribution lines in high fire-risk areas, including about 7,200 miles of covered conductor. Since January 2025, it has deployed approximately 800 additional miles of covered conductor and approximately 90 miles of underground lines, including in rebuilding areas. The RAMP process for 2029–2032 proposes approximately 450 additional miles of covered conductor and 190 miles of targeted undergrounding, with projects selected according to risk models and the benefit-cost ratio.
SCE’s planning teams produce approximately 100,000 project designs annually, and the company uses tools to automate preliminary design and verify that final designs comply with standards. These tools are intended to accelerate design cycles by 20%–30%. The company also plans to streamline the processing of approximately 40,000 permits annually and reduce cycle time by about 20%, supporting capital program execution and cost control.
The company expects long-term growth of approximately 7% in the regulated asset base, driven by infrastructure replacement, grid hardening, and growing electricity demand. Management indicated expected capital spending of between $8 billion and $9 billion in 2029, with regulatory visibility through 2028 and no anticipated need to issue equity through 2030. However, the outcome of wildfire legislation and the cost of equity could affect the prioritization of future investments over which the company has flexibility.
