NEWARK, Del., April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA), a leading provider of water and wastewater services, and a number of other related core business services, on the Delmarva Peninsula, today announced that its 2025 Annual Report is available electronically to shareholders through its website at https://www.artesianwater.com/investor-relations/annual-report/. If any shareholder would like to receive a print copy of the 2025 Annual Report, they can request one free of charge by writing or calling Artesian Resources Corporation, 664 Churchmans Road, Newark, Delaware 19702, Attention Laura Slayman (Phone Number: 302-453-6900).

Artesian Resources remains a buy, backed by robust infrastructure investment and a favorable pending rate case with Delaware regulators. ARTNA's shares trade at a 22% discount to fair value, with a forward P/E of 15.5 versus a justified 20, offering compelling upside. Temporary EPS headwinds in 2026 are expected to reverse, with a projected 10% rebound in 2027 as new assets earn regulated returns.

Artesian Resources offers a compelling valuation, robust dividend yield, and a clear path to earnings growth, supported by significant infrastructure investments. ARTNA's ongoing SRRF wastewater project and approved rate increases underpin multi-year earnings visibility, though geographic concentration and dual share structure constrain upside. Trading at a 35% P/E discount to peers despite comparable profitability, ARTNA's 3.9% dividend yield and 56% payout ratio provide income stability and room for growth.

NEWARK, Del., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA), a leading provider on the Delmarva Peninsula of water and wastewater services, and several other related business services, today announced earnings results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

NEWARK, Del., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend on the company's Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend of $0.3136 per share will be payable on February 25, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2026, representing an annualized dividend rate of $1.2544.

Artesian Resources offers fortress-like stability as a regulated water utility with a 4% dividend yield and 29-year growth streak. ARTNA is investing aggressively in infrastructure, supporting customer growth, and seeking a 10.75% revenue increase via regulatory approval. Shares trade at a forward P/E of 15.8, well below the 10-year average, implying a 15% discount to fair value and 21% upside potential for 2026.

Artesian Resources has grown its dividend for 29 consecutive years, which is a testament to its consistency as a dividend grower. The water utility continues to invest in its infrastructure to drive long-term diluted EPS growth. ARTNA is a financially stable water utility, which supports its continued capex.

The Dividend Growth Trifecta—quality, yield, and growth—remains my core focus for portfolio construction in an expensive market. Industry leaders like Ares Management Corporation and Blackstone Inc. offer superior risk-adjusted returns; I prefer buying dips in top names over chasing value in lower-quality peers. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF™ is off my buy list due to sector reconstitution and dimmed double-digit dividend growth prospects, despite holding a large position.
