Forecast temps low to mid 90s early next week in NY. Will be record hot summer, and with high nat gas prices power utilities are going to get approval for rate hikes. ED could possibly be pushing $105+ by mid June.

So is ED share price going higher?
May 3, 2022, 5:00 a.m. ET Already frustrated and angry about high gasoline prices, many Americans are being hit by rapidly rising electricity bills, compounding inflation’s financial toll on people and businesses.
The national average residential electricity rate was up 8 percent in January from a year earlier, the biggest annual increase in more than a decade. The latest figures, from February, show an almost 4 percent annual rise, reaching the highest level for that month and approaching summer rates, which are generally the most expensive.
In Florida, Hawaii, Illinois and New York, rates are up about 15 percent, according to the Energy Department’s latest figures. Combined with a seasonal increase in the use of electricity as people turn on air-conditioners, the higher rates will leave many people paying a lot more for power this summer than they did last year.
The immediate reason for the jump in electric rates is that the war in Ukraine has driven up the already high cost of natural gas, which is burned to produce about 40 percent of America’s electricity. And supply chain chaos has made routine grid maintenance and upgrades more expensive.

Hold that line at 100 as a low, onward and upward!

Lost $6 share price in one month. Does earnings have any effect?

Holding ED since 1.5 years, and I'm up nicely. However, starting to wonder if the current valuation with a P/E of 25 is sustainable??
j
I hope it can go higher but at 25x earnings it’s starting to look a bit overvalued. I guess we’ll see.

#$%$ I bought ED as a conservative income investment to help balance the high risk growth stuff. And it turns toward the moon??? Stop losses put in. -- Yet Another
