Deep Analysis
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.40x, Edison International uses $2.40 in debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a highly leveraged capital structure.
This is far above the sector median of 0.73x, placing the company in the 90th percentile among its peers—meaning only 10% of peers carry higher leverage. Data on the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are listed as N/A, so no trend direction can be assessed from the available information. The combination of a high leverage level with no trend data prevents any conclusion about whether the debt load is increasing or decreasing, creating uncertainty around financial risk. This metric does not directly support or contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the lack of trends leaves the impact on risk unclear—it highlights a potential vulnerability but offers no evidence of deterioration or improvement.
