Novel research — in-house discovery (alphactor 2026-05-20). Camp Fire (2018 PCG) and SDG&E (2007-08 SRE) inverse-condemnation precedents motivate the per-utility cohort.
Citation only, paper link pending.

In plain terms

Big CA wildfire in PG&E / Edison / Sempra territory → that utility's stock drops for 2-4 weeks.

How it works

Active CA wildfire (>=25k acres, uncontained) inside PCG/EIX/SRE service territory → SHORT named IOU on PSPS + inverse-condemnation liability + credit-spread channel.
