On March 19, 2025, the law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announced the filing of a securities class action lawsuit against Edison International (“Edison”) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Edison securities between February 25, 2021, and February 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the lead plaintiff deadline is set for April 21, 2025.
Impact on Individual Investors
If you are an Edison investor who purchased or acquired the company’s securities during the Class Period, you may be eligible to participate in the securities class action lawsuit.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that Edison failed to disclose the true extent of its exposure to wildfires and other risks, which materially impacted the company’s financial performance and prospects.
If the lawsuit is successful, investors may be entitled to recover their losses.

Impact on the World
The securities class action lawsuit against Edison International could have far-reaching implications for the energy industry and the broader financial markets.
