Edison International to Release Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
EIX's Q4 EPS is projected to rise 40% year over year on solid revenue growth.
SCE will reflect higher 2025 base revenues and start $902M retroactive recovery.
Edison International's revenues expected to rise 9.9%, though higher operating costs may offset gains.
Edison International (EIX - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 18, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 8.3% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors That Might Have Impacted EIX’s Q4 Performance
Edison International continues to invest heavily in grid hardening, wildfire mitigation, and renewable energy integration to support California’s clean energy goals. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from its ongoing infrastructure development and modernization programs.
Solid revenue expectations and an increase in the authorized rate of return are likely to have boosted bottom-line growth.
Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”), a subsidiary of EIX, is expected to have begun reflecting the higher 2025 authorized base revenue requirement in the fourth quarter. Since the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) allowed the $902 million retroactive increase (for January-September 2025) to be recovered over 24 months starting Oct. 1, 2025, SCE is also expected to post incremental revenues in the fourth quarter tied to this catch-up recovery. The quarterly revenues are expected to have improved, driven by the new rate structure and the start of retroactive collections.
However, higher operating expenses are likely to have offset some of the positives in the to-be-reported quarter.
EIX’s Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.47 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 40%.
