Consolidated Edison trades near the sector median on valuation — a P/E of 18.3× against 18.0× — yet the fundamentals lag. Operating margin sits -25% below the sector median at 17.3%, and ROIC trails by -19% to 4.8%. The F-Score of 6/9 reflects that weakness: profitability scores well, but efficiency and the balance sheet show strain. One bright spot stands out: Debt/EBITDA runs -9% below the median at 4.9×, a sign of disciplined debt management in a capital-heavy sector. Revenue growth 10.9% sits near the sector median 10.7%, so the company is not shrinking — it is simply converting less of each dollar into operating profit than peers do. Consensus models earnings growth aligned with the realized three-year record, a rare alignment in utilities; the forward PEG reads stretched, pricing in multiple years of steady returns at a middling multiple.

The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has not always beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When ED reports on 2026-11-04, track operating margin against the current 23.0% reading, which sits 25% below the sector median. A move toward that median, alongside any change in ROIC from its 5.86% level, would signal whether the profitability floor is holding or eroding.
On SEC EDGAR, open ED's most recent 10-K and focus on management's discussion of rate case outcomes and long-term debt obligations — context for the Debt/EBITDA of 5.33× and the current ratio of 0.73. The leverage and liquidity sub-score of 1/3 on the F-Score warrants a close read of refinancing timelines.
Pick two or three names from the alphabetical utilities table in section 06 and line up a single metric — operating margin or ROIC are the most relevant given ED's weak signals. No company in that table is ranked; the exercise is to place ED's figures in a fuller sector context before drawing any conclusions.

The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
