American Water Works, the largest U.S. regulated water utility, is set to invest $46–$48 billion through 2035, fueling 8%–9% annual growth in its rate base and a 7.7% EPS compound annual growth rate through 2028. The stock trades below its 10-year average forward P/E at 20.77 and offers a secure 2.8% dividend yield. Growth is supported by regulatory mandates, strategic acquisitions, and a solid credit rating, though risks include inflation and pending merger approvals. This positions AWK as a stable, long-term investment opportunity in the utility sector.
