American Water Works posted Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.01, down 3.8% year-over-year in GAAP terms but on track for full-year guidance. Revenue grew 5.7% and operating income expanded 5.4%, with the GAAP EPS decline driven by merger transaction costs and higher depreciation and financing from investment growth. The Essential Utilities merger progressed with Kentucky approval, active rate cases were underway in five jurisdictions, and 105,000 customer connections remained under agreement. Legislative wins in Iowa and Indiana reduced regulatory lag.
