Spark’s Take on AWK Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AWK is a Outperform.
American Water’s stock is supported by strong revenue growth, profitability, and positive earnings guidance. However, financial risks from high leverage and negative free cash flow, alongside a relatively high P/E ratio, moderate the overall score. Regulatory achievements and strategic investments are positive, but increased costs and reduced rate case settlements pose challenges.
