Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:

Linked here is a PDF copy of my detailed analysis of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED) (alt.1, alt.2). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:

Company Description: Consolidated Edison, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides electric, gas, and steam utility services in the United States serving parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

Avg. High Yield Price
20-Year DCF Price
Avg. P/E Price
Graham Number

ED is trading at a discount to 1.), 3.) and 4.) above. If I exclude the high and low valuation and average the remaining two, ED is trading at a 14.8% discount. ED earned a Star in this section since it is trading at a fair value.
