On July 31, Edison fell 5.96% in regular trading, trading at $74.045/share, with turnover of $147 million. The decline was driven by a significant Q2 revenue miss combined with a notable analyst downgrade.
Edison reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.54, beating the consensus estimate of $1.16-$1.18 by approximately 33%. However, quarterly revenue came in at $4.36 billion, well below the $4.82 billion analyst expectation and down from $4.54 billion a year earlier. The sharp revenue shortfall signals weakening top-line growth momentum despite strong cost management on the earnings side.
On the same day, Barclays downgraded Edison from Overweight to Equalweight, reducing its price target from $78 to $75. This shift from a previously bullish institution to a neutral stance amplified negative sentiment. The company reaffirmed full-year guidance of $5.90 to $6.20 adjusted EPS, roughly in line with the $6.12 consensus. Within the Electric Utilities sector, peers showed modest moves: NextEra down 0.49%, PG&E Corp down 1.83%, Duke down 0.72%, while American Electric Power rose 0.55%.
