What the Analysts think about Middlesex Water
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Middlesex Water stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The Delaware Public Service Commission has approved Tidewater’s general base rate settlement, increasing annual operating revenues by $5.5 million and granting a 9.5% authorized return on common equity, effective July 3, 2025—supporting regulated revenue growth. (Globe Newswire)
On June 30, 2025, Middlesex filed a request with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for a $24.9 million annual revenue increase to support nearly $100 million in infrastructure investment, with the ability to set interim rates if no final ruling is made within nine months. (Globe Newswire)
During the first half of 2025, the company invested $51 million in water and wastewater infrastructure—55% of its planned 2025 capital budget—demonstrating disciplined execution of its targeted, sustainable growth strategy. (Globe Newswire)
Net income for the first half of 2025 fell to $20.3 million from $21.3 million a year earlier, and diluted EPS decreased to $1.13 from $1.18. This reflects lower water usage and one-off recovery items in Q1 2024 that offset underlying growth. (Globe Newswire)
Q2 2025 operating expenses increased by $1.6 million to $35.4 million, mainly due to higher variable production costs, rising labor expenses, and weather-driven main break activity, putting pressure on profit margins. (Globe Newswire)
Lower water consumption driven by poor weather in H1 2025 muted revenue growth, partly offsetting rate hikes and customer additions across both Middlesex and Tidewater systems. (Globe Newswire)
