American Water Works is projected to report Q3 2026 revenue of $1.47 billion and earnings per share of $2.11, while the current stock price of $142.75 sits slightly above the average analyst price target of $140.55.
The primary focus for investors this quarter is the initiation of standalone 2027 earnings guidance and the long-term financial targets following recent large-scale acquisitions.
Results are expected to be bolstered by new rate implementations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, helping to mitigate higher financing costs and operational inflation. Additionally, management is anticipated to provide updates on the integration of Nexus Water systems and the regulatory status of the pending merger with Essential Utilities.
