Earnings are seasonal. Q3 has been the strongest quarter of each full year, while Q4 and Q1 have been the weakest. Annual EPS rose every year, from $4.51 in 2022 to $4.89 in 2023, $5.39 in 2024 and $5.69 in 2025. The first half of 2026 adds up to $2.61, about 3% more than the same period a year earlier. The highs here came in Q3 2025, at $1.94 per share and $1.5 billion in revenue. Over the last 20 quarters, American Water beat the EPS estimate 12 times and missed eight times. The largest miss was Q1 2026, at 8.10% below.

American Water reported Q3 between October 29 and November 2 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will cover the quarter that has been the largest of each year in the table.
