MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Consolidated Edison Stock? ED Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Friday, September 11, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Consolidated Edison pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Consolidated Edison
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Consolidated Edison, Inc.:

Consolidated Edison, Inc. recently reported strong second-quarter results, beating analyst expectations with earnings per share of $0.83 compared to a consensus estimate of $0.76, while also exceeding revenue forecasts with $4.07 billion in sales against an expected $3.60 billion, demonstrating robust operational performance.
The company offers a stable income stream with a dividend yield of 3.33% and a payout ratio of 58.29%, which is sustainable given its regulated utility business model that provides predictable cash flows and low volatility, as evidenced by its beta of 0.27.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. is positioned to benefit from the growing demand for power from AI data centers, as regulated utilities with long-term supply contracts are expected to collect revenue for decades, providing a long-term growth tailwind for the company.
The stock is currently trading at $106.64, which is below the consensus price target of $108.93, suggesting potential upside for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's stable earnings and dividend profile.
Recent institutional activity shows significant interest, with the California State Teachers Retirement System increasing its stake by 13,703.3% in the second quarter, indicating strong confidence from large institutional investors in the company's long-term value.

Consolidated Edison
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Consolidated Edison, Inc. for these reasons:

The consensus rating from analysts is "Reduce," with six analysts issuing a Sell rating and six assigning a Hold rating, reflecting a general lack of enthusiasm for the stock's near-term price appreciation potential.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.04, which could limit its financial flexibility and increase its vulnerability to rising interest rates, potentially impacting its ability to invest in infrastructure or maintain its dividend.
The company's stock has underperformed the market recently, as noted in a September 5, 2026 report, and it is trading below its 50-day simple moving average of $109.56, indicating short-term downward pressure on the share price.
Some analysts, such as Morgan Stanley and Barclays, have recently lowered their price targets and assigned "underweight" ratings, citing limited return upside and concerns about the company's growth prospects in a competitive utility landscape.
Short interest in the stock has been increasing, with shares shorted rising to 9,958,991 as of August 31, 2026, suggesting that a significant portion of investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
