Edison International (EIX)
Forward P/E is 9.56x against a peer median of 16.88x, a ratio of 0.57x — well below the 0.90 undervalued line — with trailing P/E 6.06x and PEG 2.20. Latest-quarter revenue grew 7.7% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), close to the cluster pace, and the value-trap check does not apply: revenue is growing, not shrinking, and the cluster median growth is positive. Delivered demand check: the electric utilities group's median growth was 8.0% year over year — demand rising, and this company is growing at nearly that pace.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E rises to about 15.2x or above (0.90x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, or if revenue growth falls below 0% year over year, which would trigger the value-trap check. Move further into undervalued territory if the forward P/E falls below about 8.5x while revenue growth stays above 5% year over year.
Edison International generates and sells electricity. Its shares cost far less per dollar of earnings than similar power companies — roughly half the usual price — while its sales keep growing at a steady pace. On those numbers the shares look undervalued, with the market pricing in problems the sales figures do not yet show.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window Edison International returned +12.31% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Edison International: -45.3% (2024-11-27 to 2025-06-13). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.

Sector demand read: Delivered demand check: the electric utilities group's median latest-quarter revenue growth was 8.0% year over year (SEC filings) — demand rising.

Multiples: stockanalysis.com (SECONDARY, S&P Global data), fetched Oct 28, 2026. Peer set chosen by sector; the median is the middle value of the set. The label and its numbers were recorded in the programme’s label registry on Oct 28, 2026 and will be scored at 6 and 12 months.
Sales, profit and cash
This company does not report a gross-profit line in its SEC facts (normal for banks, payment networks and some health insurers), so profit is shown as net income instead — gross margin is marked UNVERIFIED-absent rather than estimated.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 23-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- Gross profit / gross margin: not tagged as a standalone line in this company's EDGAR company facts (common for banks, payment networks and some healthcare payers) — shown as UNVERIFIED-absent; the page charts revenue and net income instead.
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Own-history P/E range not yet compiled for this company in the Phase 1 batch run; the label rests on peer-median, growth and PEG evidence.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
