Consolidated Edison - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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.

Consolidated Edison
Bull Case

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

Consolidated Edison, Inc. recently reported a quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $0.98, exceeding analysts' expectations of $0.97, indicating strong financial performance and effective management.
The company has increased its quarterly dividend to $0.85 per share, reflecting a commitment to returning value to shareholders. This translates to an annualized dividend of $3.40, providing a dividend yield of 3.10%, which is attractive for income-focused investors.
With a market capitalization of $39.45 billion, Consolidated Edison, Inc. is a stable investment in the utilities sector, which is generally less volatile compared to other sectors, offering a safer investment option.
Analysts have a consensus price target of $102.40 for the stock, suggesting potential upside from the current trading levels, which can be appealing for growth-oriented investors.
The company has a solid return on equity of 8.62%, indicating efficient use of shareholders' equity to generate profits, which is a positive sign for potential investors.

Consolidated Edison
Bear Case

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

The stock has received multiple "underweight" ratings from analysts, indicating that some experts believe the stock may not perform as well as the market or its peers.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. has a relatively high P/E ratio of 20.90, which may suggest that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially limiting future price appreciation.
The company has a beta of 0.27, indicating lower volatility compared to the market. While this can be seen as a pro, it may also mean limited growth potential during bullish market conditions.
Recent downgrades from analysts, such as Evercore ISI moving from a "strong-buy" to a "hold" rating, may signal concerns about the company's future growth prospects.
The dividend payout ratio is 64.89%, which, while sustainable, indicates that a significant portion of earnings is being paid out as dividends, potentially limiting funds available for reinvestment in growth opportunities.
