Why Edison International Stock Withered on Wednesday
Edison International (EIX) stock fell over 6% on Wednesday after JPMorgan analyst Aidan Kelly cut his price target from $82 to $61 per share. The decline was driven by California's legislature failing to vote on the Wildfire Liability Bill, which would have provided liability protections for utilities. This leaves Edison's subsidiary Southern California Edison vulnerable to multiple lawsuits related to the early 2025 Eaton fire.
Why Edison International Stock Just Crashed
Edison International stock plummeted 24.2% after California legislators rejected Governor Newsom's proposal to shield utilities from wildfire liability lawsuits. The failed legislation would have prevented insurance companies from suing utilities for wildfire damages, instead forcing insurers to bear the costs. While some compromise measures were proposed, the rejection of the main subrogation lawsuit protection resulted in a significant stock decline and a downgrade from Mizuho Bank.
