Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Consolidated Edison, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $2 to $112, 18.2x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $6.16, below peers based on a weaker growth profile. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.09 to $6.11 and lift 2027 EPS by $0.14 to $6.49. ED delivered Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.18, down from $2.26 in the prior year and missing consensus by 3.8%, primarily due to higher O&M expenses at CECONY and dilution from equity issuance, partially offset by rate-base growth. The completed MVP sale for $357.5M and pending Honeoye sale for $5M represent a clear strategic shift toward a pure-play regulated utility model, reducing exposure to non-regulated, market-exposed assets. The proceeds also reduce near-term financing pressure, potentially allowing the company to moderate the pace of equity issuance and limit further dilution beyond the planned $1.1B in 2026. We project 2025-2028 compounded annual EPS and dividend growth rates of 6.7% and 4.7%, respectively, below our expectations for multi-utilities group medians of 7.5% and 6.2%.

Con Edison Projects Rapid CapEx, Base Rate Growth due to Growing Electrification

Consolidated Edison (ED), a regulated utility serving the New York Metropolitan Area, said Thursday it expects robust capital expenditures and rate base growth rates through 2030, alongside accelerating electrification trends across its service territory.The company sees total capital expenditures rising to $6.6 billion in 2026, going all the way up to $8.8 billion by 2030.Its rate base, which essentially refers to the total value of its assets, on which utilities are permitted to earn a regulated rate of return, is expected to increase from $47.1 billion in 2025 to $50.7 billion in 2026 and $71.8 billion by 2030, representing a five-year compound annual growth rate of roughly 8.8%.Consolidated Edison attributed this to accelerating electrification across its service territory, which is primarily the New York Metropolitan region.It noted that new buildings coming online are now requesting electric capacity that is 20% to 25% higher than historical levels as customers increasingly shift toward electric heating and transportation.The company said it installed 20 megawatts of fast-charging capacity across the territory in 2025, marking an 18% increase from 2024 levels, while its medium- and heavy-duty Make-Ready programs are already supporting the electrification of more than 500 trucks and buses.

Research Alert: Ed Q1: Eps Misses On Higher Costs; Reaffirms Guidance On Strong Load Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ED delivered Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.18, down from $2.26 in the prior year and missing consensus by 3.8%, primarily due to higher O&M expenses at CECONY and dilution from equity issuance, partially offset by rate-base growth. The decline reflected $0.08 per share in higher costs and dilution effects, while CECONY and O&R rate-base growth contributed $0.10 per share combined. We view ED's electrification positioning favorably, with new buildings showing 20%-25% increases in electric demand and 20 MW of fast-charging capacity added in 2025 (+18%), supporting long-term investment opportunities. Management reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.00-$6.20 despite Q1 headwinds. The company strengthened its capital position through the $357.5M MVP stake sale (generating $134M after-tax gain) and $776M equity forward settlement, while the five-year 8.8% investment-base CAGR target through 2030 supports our view of sustained earnings growth driven by accelerating electrification and grid-modernization needs.
