Analyst projections of the future price of York Water stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

First-half 2026 revenue rose 15.8% and net income rose to $12.4 million from $8.7 million, helped by new rates and customer growth. This shows the company can translate regulatory rate relief and a larger customer base into stronger earnings. (The York Water Company, SEC)
The proposed Paradise Township wastewater acquisition would add more than 700 customers and broaden York Water’s wastewater footprint, subject to regulatory approval. It offers a route to grow beyond existing service-area demand. (The York Water Company)
York Water declared its 623rd consecutive dividend, raising the quarterly payment to $0.228 per share from $0.2192 a year earlier. Its long record and continued payout growth may appeal to income-focused investors. (The York Water Company)
Underlying water use weakened: per-capita consumption fell about 2.5% in the first half of 2026, while the distribution-system surcharge reset to zero when new rates took effect. That leaves earnings more reliant on rate increases and customer growth to offset lower usage. (SEC)
Operating expenses rose 12.9% in the first half, including higher maintenance, wages and depreciation, and the company planned another $26.8 million of capital spending in 2026 after investing $21.1 million in the first half. The investment burden makes timely cost control and regulatory recovery important to returns. (SEC)
The April share offering increased the number of shares in issue; average shares outstanding in the second quarter rose to 15.883 million from 14.397 million a year earlier. That larger share base can dilute the benefit of profit growth for existing shareholders. (SEC)
