American Water Q2 2026: EPS $1.61, guidance affirmed
The quarter reads as an on-track utility: American Water beat consensus EPS by roughly 3.4% and reaffirmed 2026 guidance of $6.02 to $6.12. Revenue rose 5.8% to $1.35 billion and net income grew 9.0% to $315 million. Free cash flow was negative at -$258 million, which is normal for a utility that spends on pipes before regulators let it recover the cost.
