The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Edison International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 5.4 million Edison International shares held short by investors – that's known as Edison International's "short interest". This figure is 3.3% up from 5.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Edison International shares can be evaluated.
Edison International's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Edison International shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Edison International shares traded daily (recently around 1.8 million). Edison International's SIR currently stands at 3.03. In other words for every 100,000 Edison International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3030 shares are currently held short.
However Edison International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Edison International shares, or, against the total number of tradable Edison International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Edison International's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Edison International shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0153% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Edison International shares, roughly 15 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Edison International.

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Edison International shareholders could enjoy a 4.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Edison International's case, that would currently equate to about $2.575 per share.
Edison International's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Edison International's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 June 1993. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Edison International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Edison International shares which in turn could have impacted Edison International's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Edison International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $41.6584 up to $67.8582. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
