With a market cap of $22.6 billion, Edison International (EIX) engages in the generation and distribution of electric power. Founded in 1886, the Rosemead, California-based company supplies and delivers through its electrical infrastructure to an approximately 50,000 square-mile area of southern California.

Shares of the utility company have underperformed the broader market over the past year and in 2025. EIX stock has declined 22.7% over the past 52 weeks and 26.6% on a YTD basis. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has returned 12.5% over the past year and 1.3% in 2025.

Narrowing the focus, EIX has also underperformed the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLU13.7% growth over the past 52 weeks and its 8.6% rise this year.

EIX stock surged marginally following the release of its Q1 earnings on Apr. 29. The company reported a 6.5% year-over-year decrease in its revenue, which amounted to $3.8 billion and missed the consensus estimates. Moreover, its operating income totalled $2.1 billion. EIX’s adjusted EPS came in at $1.37 and surpassed the analyst estimates by 13.2%.

For the current year ending in December, analysts predict EIX’s EPS to increase 21.9% year over year to $6.01. Moreover, the company has surpassed analysts’ consensus estimates in three of the past four quarters, while only missing on one occasion.

Among the 17 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 11 “Strong Buy” ratings, five “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.”

The configuration is more bullish than three months ago, when 10 analysts gave the stock a “Strong Buy” rating.

On May 1, Barclays PLC (BCS) analyst Nicholas Campanella maintained a “Buy” rating on Edison stock and raised the price target from $64 to $67.

EIX’s mean price target of $69.03 indicates a premium of 17.7% from the current market prices. Its Street-high target of $86 suggests a robust 46.7% upside potential from current price levels.
