<p>投資水務股可能是一個明智的決定，因為水在我們社會運行中扮演着至關重要的角色。水公用事業提供了關鍵資源，確保了可靠的需求，不受經濟基本條件的影響。這種穩定性進一步得到了通過監管批准賦予的定價權力的支持。這使得這些公司能夠保持可預測的收入流。</p>
<p>幾年前，水務股被認為價格昂貴，受低利率和投資者願意為其可靠的收入和增長前景支付溢價的推動，但最近利率上升改變了局面。</p>
<p>如今，較高的借貸成本降低了投資者傾向於持有以獲取安全收入前景的股票的市場吸引力，包括水務股。投資者主要轉向風險/回報比改善的固定收益投資。因此，水務股的股價顯著下跌，它們的估值也收縮到更合理的水平。在本文中，我們將探討 2024 年 6 月最值得購買的三隻水務股。</p>
<h2><strong>米德爾賽克斯水務公司（MSEX）</strong></h2>

<p>成立於 1897 年，<strong>米德爾賽克斯水務公司</strong>（NASDAQ:<strong>MSEX</strong>）是最大的受監管水務行業參與者之一。它為新澤西州、特拉華州和賓夕法尼亞州的客户提供基本的供水和污水處理服務。由於水在這些地區的重要作用，該公司的收入多年來穩步增長。舉例來説，1994 年，米德爾賽克斯創造了 3610 萬美元的收入。到去年，這一數字已經增長到 1.663 億美元。</p>
<p>米德爾賽克斯通過有機增長和併購實現增長。在有機增長方面，它致力於升級和擴展設施和網絡，以滿足不斷增長的人口和更高用水量帶來的需求。在併購方面，近年來的重要收購包括 2019 年的 Water Systems，當時為其網絡增加了約 1000 名客户，並提高了運營效率。</p>
<p>為了突顯米德爾賽克斯現金流的強勁，受監管水務公用事業的固有特性支持，該公司連續 51 年增加了股息。這一成就使米德爾賽克斯躋身被稱為股息之王的股票精英羣體。擁有半個多世紀的持續股息增長，米德爾賽克斯無疑展示了其在幾乎任何市場環境中的韌性和蓬勃發展能力。</p>
<h2><strong>約克水務公司（YORW）</strong></h2>

<p>如果你認為米德爾賽克斯水務公司歷史悠久，那麼等你瞭解到成立於 1816 年的 <strong>約克水務公司</strong>（NASDAQ:<strong>YORW</strong>）更古老時，你會驚訝。事實上，約克水務公司是美國迄今為止最古老的投資者擁有的公用事業公司。擁有兩個多世紀的豐富歷史，約克水務公司為賓夕法尼亞州中南部的客户提供可靠的供水和污水處理服務，時間之長令人印象深刻。</p>
<p>幾十年來，約克主要通過有機增長實現增長，包括擴大客户羣和提高價格。例如，2023 年，其客户增長了 1.5%，達到 77,893 人。關於漲價，賓夕法尼亞公用事業委員會（PPUC）最近批准的最新一次漲價發生在去年，預計將把平均每月水費從 46.49 美元提高到 53.06 美元，適用於平均消耗 4027 加侖的居民客户。</p>
<p>此外，我不能忽視約克水務公司驚人的股息增長記錄，這展示了企業和整個行業的優質特性。該公司擁有超過 200 年的連續股息支付歷史，突顯了其財務穩健性和對股東回報的承諾。約克水務公司也連續 27 年增加了股息。</p>
<h2><strong>美國水業（AWK）</strong></h2>

<p><strong>美國水業</strong>（NYSE:<strong>AWK</strong>）是美國最大的公開交易的水務和污水處理公用事業公司。儘管其公開交易的歷程直到 2008 年才開始，但其根源可以追溯到 1886 年。如今，該公司為 46 個州和加拿大安大略省的大約 1400 萬人提供服務。</p>
<p>過去十年，公司持續增長。特別是在過去 10 年中，其收入以複合年增長率（CAGR）達到 4% 增長。這可能聽起來不像是一個出色的增長率。然而，隨着成本效益和規模經濟的發揮作用，美國水業的每股收益（EPS）在同一時期以約 9% 的 CAGR 增長。</p>
<p>該公司正在模仿其經驗豐富的同行在股息增長方面的軌跡。自 2008 年上市以來，美國水業每年都提高股息，累計連續 16 年增長。隨着每股股息以 9.8% 的 CAGR 增長，並具有豐富的未來增長潛力，AWK 股票似乎是尋求行業內高於平均股息增長前景的強勁選擇。</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>

</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>
