What stands out

Two California utilities, PG&E (PCG) and Edison International (EIX), had some of their worst trading days after amendments to a state bill triggered a wave of selling; the move looked political more than operational. Tesla (TSLA) rallied ahead of its Cybercab event, a reminder that corporate theatrics still move sentiment. Even as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for the utilities slid toward oversold levels, today’s action underlines the difference between headline-driven price shocks and the underlying earnings trajectories investors should weigh.
