Share count rising — dilution

+1.3% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 380.0M (2021) → 385.0M (2025)

Edison International is a large electric utility company based in Southern California. Its main subsidiary, Southern California Edison (SCE), delivers electricity to about 15 million people across a 50,000-square-mile service area that includes Los Angeles suburbs and much of inland Southern California. It does not generate much of its own power — instead, it focuses on building and maintaining the power lines, substations, and equipment that carry electricity to homes and businesses.

Edison makes most of its money through regulated rates set by California state regulators, meaning it earns a government-approved return on the infrastructure it builds and maintains. This regulatory model provides steady, predictable revenue, but it also limits how much profit the company can earn. The biggest risk facing Edison is wildfire liability — California's dry climate means downed power lines can spark deadly fires, and the company has faced billions of dollars in legal claims tied to past wildfires, which remains a serious ongoing financial threat.

Cash watch

Edison International has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

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.
