American Water Works reported third-quarter operating earnings per share of $2.00, up from $1.89 in the year-ago period, putting it on track to meet our and management's full-year estimates.
The company operates in constructive regulatory environments that support recovery of prudent costs and support growth investments.
American Water Works' sizable plans for infrastructure replacement and upgrades could run into some pushback from rising rates for water that has traditionally been cheap.
