FAQ

Why Very Bearish?

The ongoing lawsuits related to potential fire risk can lead to significant liability, impacting investor confidence. Historical precedents show that companies facing litigation over safety issues often see prolonged declines in stock prices.

How important is it?

The substantial focus on legal actions against Edison indicates serious risks to its financial health and reputation. The relevance to stock price is amplified due to investor fear and potential for increased regulatory scrutiny.

Why Long Term?

The effects of legal challenges and their outcomes can persist for years, as seen in other utility companies facing similar litigation. Once legal resolutions are reached, stock performance might stabilize, but market sentiment may remain cautiously bearish in the interim.
