Citi analyst Praful Mehta found increased acknowledgement by a number of members that wildfire costs do need to be socialized across a number of group at yesterday's California Assembly Utilities Committee hearing. This acknowledgement, rather than a singular focus on holding the utility accountable, is a "step towards a constructive solution," Mehta tells investors in a research note. He continues to believe legislation will be passed this session and that it will "follow the path of least resistance." Mehta views the hearing as positive and remains constructive on shares of PG&E (PCG) and Edison International (EIX). He keeps a Buy rating on PG&E with a $33 price target.
