Analyst projections of the future price of American States Water stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter 2026 diluted EPS increased 25.3% year over year to $1.09, driven primarily by CPUC-approved customer-rate increases at Golden State Water, with earnings rising across all operating segments. (American States Water)
AWR raised its quarterly dividend 8.2% and has increased annual dividends for 72 consecutive years; it also completed its $200 million ATM program and stated that it does not plan additional equity issuance through at least 2029, reducing near-term dilution risk. (American States Water)
The contracted-services business provides recurring exposure to long-duration U.S. military-base contracts, while management expects that segment to contribute $0.63–$0.67 per share in 2026 and forecasts $185–$220 million of regulated-utility investment, supporting rate-base growth. (American States Water)
Golden State Water’s transition from full revenue decoupling to a modified rate-adjustment mechanism leaves revenue and earnings more exposed to fluctuations in customer consumption and water-source mix. (American States Water)
Input-cost and capital-intensity pressures remain material: first-quarter 2026 water-supply costs rose 19.0% year over year, while property and other taxes increased 15.4% as the company added utility plant. (SEC)
The contracted-services segment relies on fixed-price military-base contracts, which expose AWR to construction-cost overruns, performance disputes and potential government suspension or termination; management also faces substantial execution risk on planned infrastructure spending. (SEC)
