What the Analysts think about H2O America
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for H2O America stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
H2O America reported second-quarter 2025 diluted EPS of $0.71 and adjusted EPS of $0.75, representing 11% and 14% year-over-year increases respectively, on 13% revenue growth to $198.3 million, while reaffirming its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.90–$3.00, underscoring its financial momentum.
The company’s Texas Water subsidiary agreed to acquire Quadvest’s assets for $540 million, doubling H2O America’s Texas connections and positioning Texas to become its second-largest operation by 2028; the deal is expected to be accretive to long-term EPS growth.
H2O America secured key regulatory approvals in Q2, including a $4.1 million System Improvement Charge in Texas, a Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment in Connecticut, and advanced metering infrastructure cost recovery in California, reducing regulatory lag and bolstering revenue stability.
S&P Global revised H2O America’s outlook to negative, warning that the $540 million Quadvest acquisition could weaken its FFO-to-debt ratio below the 11% downgrade threshold, indicating potential credit rating pressure.
Operating expenses rose sharply in Q2 2025, with water production costs increasing 15% to $80.9 million and other operating expenses up 13% to $73.5 million, which may compress margins amid rising input costs.
Year-to-date capital expenditures reached $207.2 million on track for a full-year $473.0 million, intensifying cash outflows and potentially straining free cash flow and leverage metrics if revenue growth lags.
