The AI's read

SoCal Edison suffered a Long Beach outage that cut power to 22,066 customers during a 93°F heat watch. Large outages in heat raise repair costs, reputational pain, and regulatory attention. The market already reacted: EIX is down roughly 3.8% since the report and RSI sits at 75, so some downside appears priced in. That reduces immediate asymmetry for a directional call. We lean NEUTRAL. Event feels like short-term noise unless investigations, prolonged outages, or regulatory fines emerge, so we'd wait for clearer damage or liability signals before leaning harder either way.
