Grounding quotes
  • “Edison International's 2025 core earnings per share of $6.55 was above our guidance range. That extends our two-decade track record of meeting or exceeding annual EPS guidance.”
  • “we remain confident that SCE will be able to make a good faith showing that its conduct with respect to its transmission facilities in the Eaton Canyon area was consistent with actions of a reasonable utility”
  • “Given the complexities associated with estimating damages, we currently are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses.”
  • “SCE enters 2026 with substantially greater clarity into capital plans, revenue requirement, and operational priorities, not only for the GRC period, but into the next decade.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year 2025 core EPS of $6.55 came in above the company's guidance range, extending a two-decade track record of meeting or exceeding annual EPS guidance.
  • Introduced 2026 core EPS guidance of $5.90–$6.20 and 2027 core EPS guidance of $6.25–$6.65, with reaffirmed 2028 target and 5%–7% long-term core EPS growth target extended through 2030.
  • Q4 2025 core EPS rose to $1.87 from $1.05 year-over-year, driven by cost recoveries under the Woolsey Settlement Agreement and revenue recognition from the 2025 GRC final decision.
  • 2025 was a significant regulatory year with GRC, cost of capital proceeding, TKM and Woolsey settlements, and other wildfire proceedings concluded, providing substantially greater visibility into capital plans and revenue requirements.
  • Q4 2025 Residential Customer Engagement Survey ranked SCE highest in absolute brand trust among large California investor-owned utilities.
  • SCE has installed more than 7,000 miles of covered conductor in high-fire risk areas and fast-curved settings on 93% of distribution circuits in those areas, supporting wildfire risk reduction.

Risks & pressure points

  • SCE believes its energized idle transmission facility was likely associated with the ignition of the Eaton Fire and is unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses.
  • A new 10-K disclosure references a Los Angeles District Attorney's investigation to determine whether criminal violations occurred related to the Eaton Fire.
  • Q4 2025 GAAP EPS of $4.80 was driven by items outside of core results, and Edison International Parent and Other's Q4 core loss per share increased year-over-year due to a loss on preferred stock redemption.
  • More than 2,300 claims have been submitted under the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program with associated payments underway, and SCE is enhancing the program retroactively with higher legal-fee coverage (10% to 20%) and additional renter support.
  • Credit rating agencies continue to evaluate California-specific risk factors, underscoring the importance of regulatory durability that is not yet fully resolved, with the SB-254 process in 2026 as a central venue.
