Edison International's second quarter 2026 call was dominated not by the headline numbers, which were solid, but by the unresolved question of California wildfire liability reform, with management threading a careful needle between operational confidence and strategic contingency. Core EPS came in at $1.04 for the quarter, bringing year-to-date core EPS to $2.97, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance of $5.90 to $6.20 with a long-term growth rate of 5% to 7%. GAAP EPS of $1.54 compared favorably to $0.97 in the prior-year period, benefiting from the timing of last year's General Rate Case decision and reduced interest expense tied to Woolsey cost recovery. The Woolsey Fire securitization closed during the week of the call, generating approximately $2 billion in proceeds, a meaningful balance sheet event that retires related debt and demonstrates continued capital market access despite the broader California utility risk overhang.
