We are reaffirming our $78 fair value estimate for Edison International after the company reported earnings per share of $1.13 on an adjusted basis in the first quarter, up from $1.09 in the first quarter of 2023. We are reaffirming our narrow moat rating.
With Edison's $7 billion of planned annual investment during the next four years, we project 7% average annual earnings growth.
