Edison International Beats EPS Estimate, Reaffirms 2026 Guidance as Wildfire Hardening Nears Completion

Edison International delivered Q1 2026 core EPS of $1.42, beating the $1.32 consensus estimate by 7.6%, while revenue of $4.10B narrowly missed the $4.15B estimate. Management reaffirmed 2026 EPS guidance of $5.90-$6.20, the 2027 range of $6.25-$6.65, and the 5%-7% growth target through 2030. Wildfire hardening reached 93% completion, and the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program has extended $500M in offers to 1,500 claimants. The $38-$41B capital plan through 2030 remains intact with no new equity required for five years. The stock rose modestly on the print and drifted 3.4% higher over subsequent sessions.

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
