Urgent Legal Investigation for Edison International Investors

Background

As a leading national securities law firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, is actively investigating potential legal claims on behalf of investors of Edison International. The firm is particularly focused on those who have suffered losses exceeding $100,000 between February 25, 2021, and February 6, 2025. Investors are being encouraged to understand their legal rights in light of the upcoming April 21, 2025, deadline to seek lead plaintiff status in a federal securities class action.

Nature of the Claims

The claims arise from allegations that Edison International and its executives made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose critical facts that could affect investor decisions. Specifically, the lawsuit argues that Edison misrepresented how the Southern California Edison Company (SCE) utilized its Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) program. The company claimed these shutoffs proactively mitigated the risk of catastrophic wildfires during extreme weather conditions, a statement now contested as misleading.

On January 13, 2025, a court complaint was filed, stating that wildfires originated from Edison’s power lines, supported by eyewitness accounts and photographic evidence. These revelations reportedly led to a significant drop in Edison’s share prices, plummeting by approximately 11.89% the same day. The situation worsened on February 6, 2025, when media reports highlighted Edison's own acknowledgment of potential associations between its equipment and the start of wildfire events, causing further declines in stock value.

Call to Action for Investors

Faruqi & Faruqi’s partner, James (Josh) Wilson, has stepped forward to invite affected investors to directly reach out to discuss their legal options. The process to become a lead plaintiff involves having the largest financial interest in the outcome of the case and is regarded as critical in directing litigation on behalf of a class of investors who have suffered similarly. Investors have the option to either seek lead plaintiff status or remain as absent class members—both choices do not impact their entitlement to recovery should there be a positive legal outcome.

Information Gathering

Furthermore, the firm is also appealing to any individuals who possess information pertinent to Edison International’s conduct, including whistleblowers and former employees, to come forward. This outreach includes urging the investment community and the public to provide insights that could assist in building a stronger case against the firm.
