Profitability
100

American Wtr Wks Co Inc has an operating margin of 36.7%, meaning the company retains $37 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 100/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 36.9% the prior year.

Growth
50

American Wtr Wks Co Inc's revenue grew 10.1% year-over-year to $5.1B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 50/100.

Leverage
78

American Wtr Wks Co Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.18, meaning only $1.18 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 78/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
3

American Wtr Wks Co Inc's current ratio of 0.46 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 3/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow
0

While American Wtr Wks Co Inc generated $2.1B in operating cash flow, capex of $3.1B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.1B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
34

American Wtr Wks Co Inc's ROE of 10.3% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 34/100. This is up from 10.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
0.99

American Wtr Wks Co Inc scores 0.99, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($27.0B) relative to total liabilities ($24.6B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
6/9

American Wtr Wks Co Inc passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
1.85x

For every $1 of reported earnings, American Wtr Wks Co Inc generates $1.85 in operating cash flow ($2.1B OCF vs $1.1B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate
3.1x

American Wtr Wks Co Inc earns $3.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.9B vs $615.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
