Edison International (EIX) — RQD Stock Rating Cockpit

The Roarable RQD score is 38 out of 100, a letter grade of D-, with the verdict "Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow." Per the Roarable RQD rating, the five pillars score as follows: Fundamental Cash Engine 6/20 (ROIC 10.5%; FCF yield -3.13%), Whale 13F Flow 10/20, Insider Conviction 9/20, Macro Regime Fit 5/20 (Beta 0.6), and Forensic Balance Sheet 8/20 (Altman Z 0.76; Piotroski F 6/9; Debt/Equity 2.05). The weakest pillars are Fundamental Cash Engine and Macro Regime Fit, while Whale 13F Flow is the strongest at 10/20 but still well below half weight. For a prospective investor, the rating points to a stock whose reported earnings and operating margin (36.7%) are not converting into positive free cash flow, with leverage that the forensic pillar flags as a vulnerability. The low beta of 0.6 is a defensive characteristic, but the macro pillar scores it poorly relative to the rating's framework. Valuation metrics (P/E TTM 5.1, EV/EBITDA 4.7) and a 5.58% dividend yield describe a low-multiple profile; the rating indicates the market and the balance sheet are not rewarding that profile on the Roarable scale. This is an analytical summary of the scoring, not a personal recommendation.
