Edison International stock (ISIN US2810201077) closed at USD 54.81 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 16, 2026, putting the utilities group just above its recent 52-week low and in focus after a rating outlook change by Fitch Ratings on September 16, 2026.
Fitch turns outlook negative on wildfire risk
As Investing.com reported on September 16, 2026, Fitch Ratings revised Edison International’s and Southern California Edison Company’s rating outlooks to negative from stable while affirming their long-term issuer default ratings at BBB and short-term ratings at F3.
According to Investing.com, the negative outlook reflects concerns that legislative and regulatory reforms to address California wildfire liabilities have stalled, keeping Edison International exposed to potential large claims from future events.
Guidance and earnings trajectory through 2028
Beyond the rating move, Edison International is emphasizing long-term earnings growth. According to an 8-K filing summarized by StockTitan, the company reaffirmed consolidated core earnings per share guidance of USD 5.90 to USD 6.20 for fiscal year 2026, USD 6.25 to USD 6.65 for 2027 and USD 6.74 to USD 7.14 for 2028.
According to StockTitan, these figures imply a targeted 5 to 7 percent annual core EPS growth rate through 2030, giving investors a quantified trajectory against which to judge the current share price.
The same 8-K summary by StockTitan notes that Edison International entered into a new USD 900 million term loan credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders, maturing on December 22, 2026 and prepayable at any time without premium or penalty.
