ConEdison’s $250M Volume Lands 448th in Rankings as Shares Rise 0.88% on Earnings Hopes

On August 4, 2025, Consolidated Edison (ED) recorded a trading volume of $0.25 billion, ranking 448th in the market. The stock closed with a 0.88% increase, reflecting investor anticipation ahead of its upcoming earnings report.

Analysts project ED’s Q2 earnings at $0.66 per share, a 11.9% year-over-year rise, with revenues expected to reach $3.61 billion (+12.2% YoY). Revisions to consensus estimates have declined by 3.7% over the past month, signaling a recalibration of expectations. Sector-specific forecasts highlight mixed performance: CECONY’s operating revenues are projected to grow 5.9% to $3.17 billion, while O&R’s electric segment faces a 15.7% decline to $151.68 million. Gas operations, however, show resilience, with O&R-Gas revenues rising 15.3% to $50.71 million and CECONY-Gas up 2.9% to $553.34 million.

Operating income estimates underscore divergence, with CECONY’s income projected at $480.86 million (vs. $314 million YoY) and O&R’s at $12.73 million (vs. $9 million YoY). These figures suggest uneven growth across ED’s business lines, potentially influencing investor sentiment as the earnings report approaches.

Historical trading strategies indicate that high-volume stocks, such as ED, can drive short-term performance. A strategy purchasing the top 500 volume stocks and holding for one day returned 166.71% from 2022 to present, significantly outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights liquidity concentration’s role in volatility-driven markets, where high-volume assets may amplify price momentum.
