American Water reported solid financial results for the second quarter of 2025, highlighting a positive trajectory in earnings and business operations. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were $1.48, an increase from $1.42 in the same period last year. For the first half of the year, EPS grew to $2.53 compared to $2.37 in 2024.

The company has deployed $1.3 billion in capital projects year-to-date, emphasizing its commitment to infrastructure investment and maintenance.
