On April 28, 2026, Edison International announced Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.42, surpassing analyst expectations. The company reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $5.90 to $6.20, driven by projected growth in U.S. electricity demand from AI data centers and electrification trends. However, the stock remained flat post-earnings announcement due to investor focus on wildfire liabilities and regulatory uncertainties.
