- Positive Sentiment: Traders purchased 23,522 EIX call options, approximately 514% above typical call volume. The activity indicates increased speculative interest and may reflect bets on a rebound, although options volume alone does not establish a lasting change in fundamentals.
- Neutral Sentiment: Bank of America reaffirmed its “neutral” rating but reduced its price target to $51 from $81, implying further downside from the current trading level. The sharply lower target underscores how materially wildfire-liability concerns have changed the risk assessment. Bank of America analyst update
- Neutral Sentiment: Mizuho also maintained a “neutral” rating while cutting its target to $70 from $86. Its target remains above the current price, suggesting potential recovery value if California provides a workable liability framework, but the reduction signals greater uncertainty.

- Negative Sentiment: The underlying concern remains unresolved: recent wildfire legislation omitted the liability cap investors expected, leaving EIX potentially responsible for substantial fire-related costs.
