Middling fundamentals offset by an attractive price (~58% below fair value) — worth a look on the value angle.
Essential Utilities is a regulated water and natural-gas utility, the textbook defensive, income-oriented holding. FY2025 revenue rose 18.6% to $2.47B and operating income grew 21.6% to $921M, lifting operating margin to 37.2% and net margin to 24.9% — high, stable margins characteristic of a rate-regulated monopoly. Net income grew a steadier 3.5% to $616M, and the five-year record shows reliable progression from $432M to $616M. Operating cash flow climbed 31.2% to $1.01B, comfortably funding the $374M dividend, which itself grew 7.9%.
