From the latest earnings call · 2026-07-30

CONFIDENT CWT reported Q2 EPS of $0.93 (beat $0.79 street) on 16.5% revenue growth, driven by California rate case approval ($15.3M IRMA) and deferred WRAM recovery. Capital spending surged 23% YoY to $147M; rate base growing 12% CAGR toward $3.5B by 2028. Q2 2026 California drives earnings via rate recovery mechanism and preapproved capital. Washington settlement lowers near-term uncertainty. Nexus acquisition (Oregon/Nevada) and BVRT buyout (Texas) remain key growth levers pending regulatory approval. One analyst (Davis Sunderland, Baird) pressed affordability, interest rate macro headwinds, and WRAM accounting.
