American States Water Co: what insiders have been doing
Headquartered in San Dimas, United States, American States Water Co belongs to the Energy sector and traces its origins to 1929. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 68 filings signed by 20 insiders.
Both sides are active: 4 purchases worth €61k and 4 sales worth €239k, from 1 insider and 3 insiders respectively. On balance, insiders were net sellers of €179k. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. At €85k, the sale published on 15 May 2026 by Rowley Paul J is the largest of the period (0.0030% of market cap). Those buying include 1 senior executive.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,458 companies) published 22 filings over the same period, against 68 filings here. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 13 purchases against 21 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 658.1 m USD and net income at 130.4 m USD, and the dividend at 1.94 USD per share.
The last insider purchase was made public on 19 May 2026, 152 days ago.

About American States Water Co
American States Water Co. (NYSE: AWR) is a U.S.-listed utility holding company on the NYSE, headquartered in San Dimas, California, United States. The company has a long operating history of more than 90 years and is known for its unusually durable dividend record: it has paid dividends every year since 1931 and has increased the dividend for 71 consecutive consecutive calendar years, a hallmark that supports its investor profile as a defensive income-oriented utility. ([aswater.com](https://www.aswater.com/?utm_source=openai))
AWR’s business model is built around three operating segments. The largest is Golden State Water Company, a regulated water utility serving approximately 265,000 customer connections across more than 80 communities in Northern, Coastal, and Southern California. The second regulated segment is Bear Valley Electric Service, which distributes electricity to roughly 24,900 customer connections in Big Bear Lake and surrounding areas in San Bernardino County, California. The third segment, American States Utility Services (ASUS), provides operations, maintenance, and construction management services for water distribution, wastewater collection, and treatment facilities, primarily under long-duration privatization contracts at U.S. military bases. Management says the company serves more than one million people across ten states. ([aswater.com](https://www.aswater.com/?utm_source=openai))

From a market-positioning standpoint, AWR sits in a relatively attractive niche within U.S. utilities. Its regulated California water franchise provides rate-base visibility, while the military-base contract business adds a separate source of recurring and project-driven revenue. That combination can help diversify earnings, although regulatory outcomes remain a critical driver: tariff approvals and rate-case decisions with the California Public Utilities Commission materially affect performance. The company’s recent disclosures also show a heavy capital-investment cycle, with its regulated utilities authorized to spend nearly $650 million under current rate-case approvals. ([aswater.com](https://www.aswater.com/news-releases/news-release-details/american-states-water-company-announces-third-quarter-2025?utm_source=openai))
Recent news reinforces the operating thesis. In 2025, AWR reported higher quarterly results in part due to new customer rates and stronger utility earnings. In the third quarter of 2025, the company highlighted adjusted growth and said its contracted services unit had won additional new construction work expected to run through 2028. In February 2026, AWR reported full-year 2025 earnings, noted incremental improvements across all operating segments, and raised its quarterly dividend to $0.5040 per share. It also referenced a new planned California community that will be built out over time and could ultimately support a large number of customer connections. For international investors, AWR is best viewed as a California-centered regulated utility with a supplemental federal-contract services platform, offering a blend of defensive earnings, rate-case upside, and steady dividend growth.
