As previously reported, BofA analyst Ross Fowler double downgraded Consolidated Edison (ED) to Underperform from Buy with a price target of $101, down from $112, as the firm sees limited upside under the current regulatory and political climate. New York property taxes, which represent about 27% of a typical residential ConEd bill, are believed to be going up if Mamdani wins the mayoral general election, the analyst noted. In addition, the latest rate case filing proposed a steep first-year increase and this “unprecedented” revenue increase request is making it difficult for the regulators and the company to reach a settlement agreement, the analyst added.
