Edison International stock (US2810201077) is trading around $73.51 after a second-quarter 2026 report that showed core earnings of $1.54 a share, up from $0.97 a year earlier, while the company kept its 2026 core EPS guide at $5.90 to $6.20.
Per the second-quarter release, net income rose to $534 million from $343 million in the same quarter last year, and core earnings increased to $592 million from $374 million. That gives investors a cleaner read on how regulated utility earnings are tracking against a $5.90 to $6.20 full-year range.
Quarterly numbers
The second-quarter core EPS gain of $0.57 versus last year was the sharpest update in the latest report, and the year-over-year net income change was $191 million. The company also said first-quarter 2026 core EPS was $1.42, which means the first half was already carrying meaningful earnings momentum before the summer quarter.
The guidance frame matters more than the quarter alone. Edison International kept its 2026 core EPS outlook unchanged even after posting $1.54 in core EPS for the second quarter, a sign that management still sees the year landing within the published band.
Trading setup
Market data put the shares at $73.51 on August 27, 2026, with a previous close of $74.51 and a market cap of $28.67 billion. A separate market snapshot showed the stock opening at $73.59 on August 28, 2026, keeping Edison International close to that $72.45 consensus target cited by market-data services.
The result is a stock that is priced well below the broad utility headline valuations some investors expect, but still above the cited consensus target. The gap is small enough that earnings execution and regulatory updates remain the main drivers.
Southern California Edison
Southern California Edison is the core utility business behind Edison International's earnings profile, and the second-quarter figures show why its rate-base and regulatory decisions matter so much. The company said the quarter included $1.54 in core EPS at the parent level, with the utility's operations still doing the heavy lifting.
Stock level
Edison International stock traded at $73.51 on August 27, 2026, after a session that left it just below the $74.51 previous close. The market cap stood at $28.67 billion, giving the shares a firm utility-sized valuation heading into the rest of the quarter.
