York Water: Significant Upside Potential, Limited Downside Risk
York Water is a conservative, high-quality utility with a 200+ year dividend history, currently trading at an attractive valuation after recent earnings declines. Despite short-term earnings pressure from infrastructure upgrades, I expect a strong reversal and 15%+ annualized returns as operating expenses normalize by 2026. The company's regulatory monopoly, reliable dividend, and resilient business model make it a safe long-term investment, even amid sector-wide infrastructure challenges.
