Eaton Fire Claims Hit 4,000; $375M Paid, $775M Offered as Edison Projects Steady Growth
EIX sits 46% above its 52-week low of $51.01 on elevated volume (2.4× avg).
Summary
Southern California Edison has now logged over 4,000 Eaton Fire claims, paid roughly $375 million to about 2,400 claimants, and extended offers exceeding $775 million to nearly 5,500 claimants, with a November 30 claims deadline. This follows last week's report of more than 2,200 settlement offers totaling over $775 million, indicating the claims process is advancing. The company also reiterated expectations for steady rate-base and core EPS growth under its long-term plan, supported by regulatory approval and enhanced wildfire risk management. While the settlement payouts are substantial, they are largely offset by recovery mechanisms, and the reaffirmed growth outlook suggests the financial impact remains manageable. The November 30 deadline will be a key milestone for finalizing the claims resolution.
