Regulatory focus on water quality and infrastructure modernization supports sustainable earnings growth. AWK trades at 23 times earnings, higher than peers, suggesting limited margin for error. Persistent cost inflation and debt financing pose risks. Investors are advised to explore other regulated names and healthcare stocks for portfolio resilience.
