Economic Moat

Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).

No moat evidenceMoat evidence score: 35/100

The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.

Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what EIX's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. EIX trades near $68.34, around its 50-day average ($71.06) and 200-day average ($64.81). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 64 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. EIX's is $1.35 (~2.0% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month EIX found buyers near $70.54 (support) and sellers near $75.90 (resistance); its 52-week range is $49.14–$76.22. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 1.1× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Edison International keeps about 19.3% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 39.3% gross margin and 36.7% operating margin. Return on equity is 22.0% and return on invested capital about 10.0%. Margins this wide usually signal pricing power or a cost advantage.

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 2.3x, and operating profit covers interest about 4.4x, with a current ratio of 0.7x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $40.31B of total debt against $168.00M of cash.

In the latest year Edison International produced about $5.80B of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 14.2% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

BorderlineSafety score: 65/100

The dividend is being paid, but coverage or consistency is thinner than an income investor should rely on without a closer look.

Bull Case

The case for EIX:

  • Revenue is growing 13.2% a year, a sign of real demand.
  • High net margins (19.3%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
  • Strong return on equity (22.0%) shows capital is put to work well.
  • Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~14.2%) funds buybacks and dividends.
  • Pays a 4.9% dividend on top of any price gains.
  • Our model's overall read is Favorable (65/100).
Bear Case

The case against EIX:

  • Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.3x) adds financial risk.
  • Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Key Risks
Research

Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.3x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: Edison International is a large-cap utilities business still growing nicely, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 7.0x earnings, which our model scores Favorable (65/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
