    Question

    Edison International Drops Over 6% as California Wildfire Bill Fails to Pass

    Direct answer

    Edison International experienced heavy selling pressure after the California legislature adjourned without voting on the Wildfire Liability Bill. The proposed legislation was designed to establish protective liability frameworks for power providers operating in high-risk zones. Following the legislative stall, JPMorgan reduced its price target on EIX to $61 from $82, citing prolonged regulatory uncertainty and sustained balance sheet risk.
