Winston Score History

The full picture

Consolidated Edison, also called Con Edison, delivers electricity, natural gas, and steam to homes and businesses in New York City and the surrounding area. It is one of the largest utility companies in the United States and has been providing power to New York City for over 190 years. The company owns and operates the pipes, wires, and equipment that move energy to roughly 3.5 million customers.

Con Edison makes most of its money by charging customers regulated rates set by state government agencies, which limits both its losses and its profits. It operates almost entirely in New York and New Jersey, making it a highly regional business with little geographic diversification. Because regulators control what it can charge, the company has a stable and predictable income stream, but its main risk is that rising costs for infrastructure upgrades — especially modernizing its aging grid — could pressure earnings if regulators do not approve matching rate increases.

Growth + cash flow

Consolidated Edison is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 13%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
