<p>投资水务股可能是一个明智的决定，因为水在我们社会运行中扮演着至关重要的角色。水公用事业提供了关键资源，确保了可靠的需求，不受经济基本条件的影响。这种稳定性进一步得到了通过监管批准赋予的定价权力的支持。这使得这些公司能够保持可预测的收入流。</p>
<p>几年前，水务股被认为价格昂贵，受低利率和投资者愿意为其可靠的收入和增长前景支付溢价的推动，但最近利率上升改变了局面。</p>
<p>如今，较高的借贷成本降低了投资者倾向于持有以获取安全收入前景的股票的市场吸引力，包括水务股。投资者主要转向风险/回报比改善的固定收益投资。因此，水务股的股价显著下跌，它们的估值也收缩到更合理的水平。在本文中，我们将探讨 2024 年 6 月最值得购买的三只水务股。</p>
<h2><strong>米德尔赛克斯水务公司（MSEX）</strong></h2>

<p>成立于 1897 年，<strong>米德尔赛克斯水务公司</strong>（NASDAQ:<strong>MSEX</strong>）是最大的受监管水务行业参与者之一。它为新泽西州、特拉华州和宾夕法尼亚州的客户提供基本的供水和污水处理服务。由于水在这些地区的重要作用，该公司的收入多年来稳步增长。举例来说，1994 年，米德尔赛克斯创造了 3610 万美元的收入。到去年，这一数字已经增长到 1.663 亿美元。</p>
<p>米德尔赛克斯通过有机增长和并购实现增长。在有机增长方面，它致力于升级和扩展设施和网络，以满足不断增长的人口和更高用水量带来的需求。在并购方面，近年来的重要收购包括 2019 年的 Water Systems，当时为其网络增加了约 1000 名客户，并提高了运营效率。</p>
<p>为了突显米德尔赛克斯现金流的强劲，受监管水务公用事业的固有特性支持，该公司连续 51 年增加了股息。这一成就使米德尔赛克斯跻身被称为股息之王的股票精英群体。拥有半个多世纪的持续股息增长，米德尔赛克斯无疑展示了其在几乎任何市场环境中的韧性和蓬勃发展能力。</p>
<h2><strong>约克水务公司（YORW）</strong></h2>
<p><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif"/></p>

<p>如果你认为米德尔赛克斯水务公司历史悠久，那么等你了解到成立于 1816 年的 <strong>约克水务公司</strong>（NASDAQ:<strong>YORW</strong>）更古老时，你会惊讶。事实上，约克水务公司是美国迄今为止最古老的投资者拥有的公用事业公司。拥有两个多世纪的丰富历史，约克水务公司为宾夕法尼亚州中南部的客户提供可靠的供水和污水处理服务，时间之长令人印象深刻。</p>
<p>几十年来，约克主要通过有机增长实现增长，包括扩大客户群和提高价格。例如，2023 年，其客户增长了 1.5%，达到 77,893 人。关于涨价，宾夕法尼亚公用事业委员会（PPUC）最近批准的最新一次涨价发生在去年，预计将把平均每月水费从 46.49 美元提高到 53.06 美元，适用于平均消耗 4027 加仑的居民客户。</p>
<p>此外，我不能忽视约克水务公司惊人的股息增长记录，这展示了企业和整个行业的优质特性。该公司拥有超过 200 年的连续股息支付历史，突显了其财务稳健性和对股东回报的承诺。约克水务公司也连续 27 年增加了股息。</p>
<h2><strong>美国水业（AWK）</strong></h2>
<p><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://investorplace.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif"/></p>

<p><strong>美国水业</strong>（NYSE:<strong>AWK</strong>）是美国最大的公开交易的水务和污水处理公用事业公司。尽管其公开交易的历程直到 2008 年才开始，但其根源可以追溯到 1886 年。如今，该公司为 46 个州和加拿大安大略省的大约 1400 万人提供服务。</p>
<p>过去十年，公司持续增长。特别是在过去 10 年中，其收入以复合年增长率（CAGR）达到 4% 增长。这可能听起来不像是一个出色的增长率。然而，随着成本效益和规模经济的发挥作用，美国水业的每股收益（EPS）在同一时期以约 9% 的 CAGR 增长。</p>
<p>该公司正在模仿其经验丰富的同行在股息增长方面的轨迹。自 2008 年上市以来，美国水业每年都提高股息，累计连续 16 年增长。随着每股股息以 9.8% 的 CAGR 增长，并具有丰富的未来增长潜力，AWK 股票似乎是寻求行业内高于平均股息增长前景的强劲选择。</p>

</div><p>Established in 1897, <strong>Middlesex Water</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>MSEX</strong>) is one of the largest regulated water utility industry players. It provides essential water and wastewater services to New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania customers. Due to water’s vital role in these areas, the company’s revenues have steadily risen over the years. For context, in 1994, Middlesex generated $36.1 million in revenue. By last year, this figure had risen to $166.3 million.</p>

Organically, it remains committed to upgrading and expanding its facilities and network to serve the increasing demand driven by a growing population and higher water consumption volumes. In terms of M&amp;A, notable acquisitions in recent years include Water Systems in 2019, which added about 1,000 customers to its network at the time and improved operating efficiencies.</p>

With over half a century of consistent dividend growth, Middlesex has undoubtedly demonstrated its resilience and ability to thrive in virtually any market environment.</p>

</div><p>If you thought Middlesex Water had a long history, wait until you learn that <strong>York Water</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>YORW</strong>), established in 1816, is even older. In fact, Yorw Water is by far the oldest investor-owned utility in America. With a rich history spanning over two centuries, York Water has provided reliable water and wastewater services to customers in south-central Pennsylvania for an impressively long time.</p>

</div><p>Last but not least, <strong>American Water Works</strong> (NYSE:<strong>AWK</strong>) is the largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility in the United States. Although its journey to public trading didn’t commence until 2008, its roots trace back to the illustrious year 1886. Today, the company serves approximately 14 million people in 46 states and Ontario, Canada.</p>

</div><p>The company has grown consistently over the past decade. In particular, over the past 10 years, its revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. That may not sound like a superb growth rate. However, along with cost efficiencies and economies of scale kicking in, American Water Works’ earnings-per-share (EPS) has increased at a CAGR of about 9% over the same period.</p>

</div><p>The company is mirroring the trajectory of its seasoned peers in dividend growth. Since going public in 2008, American Water Works has raised its dividends each year, totaling 16 consecutive years of increases.
