Fundamental analysis of Edison International

EIX · NYSE · Utilities

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

71

out of 100

Edison International fits the profile of a quality compounder: it pairs high return on capital (ROE 20.5%) with wide margins (net margin 18.1%) and a business that keeps growing (7.3% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 71 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 4.29× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Edison International is Southern California's utility: Southern California Edison powers fifteen million people around Los Angeles. It lives the California dilemma: growing electric demand and grid modernization, under the permanent risk of wildfires.

What will shape its future

  • Wildfires: legal liability for its lines is the risk dominating the stock.
  • The state wildfire fund and legal reforms, its safety net.
  • California's electrification (vehicles, homes), its regulated growth.
