The published targets run from $94.00 to $130.00, a spread of 32% of the average, so the disagreement is moderate. The rating split is 2 buy, 10 hold, 7 sell.

ED analyst price targets
ED analyst data as of July 2026, sourced from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed. A price target is what an analyst published on a date, not a forecast Walnut endorses, and targets are typically set on a 12-month view. Verify current figures before deciding.
The average target of $111.85 sits roughly in line with the $111.89 price, -0.0%. The median is $112.00, and where the two differ the median is the steadier read, because one unusually high or low target cannot drag it.
What the ED target range actually tells you
The published targets span $94.00 to $130.00. That gap is 32% of the average target, which counts as moderate disagreement. That is a fairly typical spread: enough agreement that the average means something, enough disagreement that it should not be treated as precise.
The useful move is to read the high target as one bull scenario and the low target as one bear scenario, then ask which set of assumptions you find more plausible. Both cases are worked through on the ED is it a buy page.

The most recent published rating actions on ED within the last six months, from Yahoo Finance. Each row is dated because a target only means something alongside the date it was set. Walnut is not an investment adviser and does not endorse any of these views.
In the last six months there have been 7 raises and 3 cuts among these actions. The direction of revisions is often more telling than the level, because it shows which way informed opinion is moving. Note the tension here: the average target sits below the current price, yet the recent individual actions have mostly been raises. That usually means the published average has not caught up with the most recent revisions, and it is a good reason not to lean on the average alone.
How analysts rate ED
Of the analysts with a published rating, 2 say buy, 10 say hold, and 7 say sell, so 11% carry a buy. That buy share has fallen over the last three months, so sentiment is drifting more negative.
Read the distribution rather than the label. Sell ratings are rare across the entire market for structural reasons, so a stock with no sell ratings is unremarkable, while even a handful of them is worth understanding.
Why a ED price target is not a prediction
- It is a 12-month model output. An analyst picks assumptions for revenue, margin, and a multiple, and the target falls out of the arithmetic. Change one assumption and the target moves a lot.
- The distribution is skewed. Sell-side coverage carries far more buy ratings than sell ratings across the whole market, so the average is not a balanced vote.
- Targets follow price as often as they lead it. Revisions frequently arrive after a move, not before, which is why a rising target is weak evidence on its own.
- Nobody is scored on it. There is no cost to a target that never gets close, so treat accuracy as unverified unless you check the firm's record yourself.
What could move ED from here
In short: the drivers cited most often are Large approved rate-base investment plan, Electrification and clean-energy transition in New York, A 50-plus-year dividend growth streak. The risk cited most often against it is the biggest risks are regulatory and interest-rate driven.
Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the ED is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ

The gap between them is the honest answer to this question: analysts who all follow Consolidated Edison closely disagree by 32% of the average target, so treat any single number as one scenario.
How many analysts cover ED?
+
17 analysts publish estimates on ED as of July 2026. Of those with a published rating, 2 say buy, 10 hold, and 7 sell, so 11% carry a buy rating. More coverage usually means the consensus is better informed, though it also means the obvious points are already in the price.
Are analyst price targets for ED accurate?
+
Treat them as informed opinion, not measurement. Two things are worth knowing. Sell-side ratings skew positive across the market, and ED is no exception at 11% buy ratings, so the distribution is not a balanced vote. And targets tend to follow the share price at least as often as they lead it, getting raised after a stock has already run. They are most useful as a read on what the informed consensus expects, and least useful as a prediction of where the price lands.
Has the ED price target been raised or cut recently?
+
In the last six months there have been 7 raises and 3 cuts among the published actions on ED. The most recent was Keybanc, which lowered its target to $94.00 from $97.00 on July 23, 2026. The direction of revisions often tells you more than the level, because it shows which way the informed view is moving.
Is analyst sentiment on ED improving?
+
