Jefferies cut its target for Edison International stock from USD 53.00 to USD 42.00 in a note issued October 2, 2026, and shifted its rating from Hold to Underperform, according to MarketBeat. The euro quote was EUR 48.07 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 4:40 p.m. CEST, up 0.40 percent from the prior close of EUR 47.88.
Why Jefferies cut its target
The USD 42.00 target is 20.75 percent below the USD 53.00 level cited in the earlier Jefferies view. The downgrade adds a clear counterweight to Edison International's latest operating figures, because the analyst action points to valuation or risk concerns rather than a weaker same-day quotation.
MarketBeat also reported that Edison International had a consensus rating of Reduce and an average target price of USD 62.45 on October 5, 2026. The average target was 48.69 percent above the USD 42.00 Jefferies target, showing a wide spread in the current analyst view.
Second-quarter earnings beat on profit
For the second quarter of 2026, Edison International reported revenue of USD 4.36 billion and diluted earnings per share of USD 1.38 in the structured financial statements. Revenue was below the USD 4.82 billion consensus cited by MarketBeat, while the same source reported earnings per share of USD 1.54 against USD 1.18 expected for that quarter.
The earnings contrast matters: the USD 0.36 per-share beat was paired with a USD 0.46 billion revenue shortfall versus consensus. Edison International also set 2026 earnings guidance at USD 5.90 to USD 6.20 per share, according to MarketBeat.
Dividend and October results date
The board declared a quarterly common-stock dividend of USD 0.88 per share, payable October 31, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 7, 2026, according to StockTitan.
