Edison International's SCE Preferreds: High Yields From A Special Situation
Summary Southern California Edison and Edison International preferreds are undervalued due to wildfire liability uncertainties, but offer upside as issues resolve.

Despite uncertainties, SCE/EIX preferreds are expected to reach par, providing attractive yields to call (YTC) as EIX regains access to low-cost capital.

Scandal Stocks: Wait To Buy Edison International
Summary Edison International lost much more market capitalization than its likely costs related to the Eaton Fire. California's $21 billion wildfire insurance fund pays fire-related damage claims against utilities beyond $1 billion.

Edison International: The Market May Be Overestimating The Risk From The LA Fires
Summary Edison International, a major electric utility in Southern California, is one of the major suppliers of electricity to the disaster-ravaged Los Angeles area. The market has sold off the company's stock in the recent days, sending it down to levels last seen in October of 2023. However, the largest of the fires are not in Edison International's service territory, reducing the risk that the company will actually suffer long term damage from this event. The company's fire mitigation program further reduces the risk, as there have been no accusations that the company bears any legal liability for the fires. The company's balance sheet is weaker than its peers, but EIX stock's valuation is attractive right now and it might be worth it for someone willing to speculate.
