UBS confirmed a Buy rating for American Water Works and raised its price target to $162, signaling potential stock growth from $140.33.

The company plans to invest $35 million to improve infrastructure, supporting reliable service and efficiency. With $1.4 billion in liquidity and expected high single-digit annual EPS growth, American Water Works is positioned for steady financial performance in the regulated utility sector.
