Is AWR overbought or oversold?
At the September 2, 2026 close, AWR's RSI(14) was 58.8, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, AWR has $21.7M in cash with $917.5M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company is burning cash, with free cash flow at -$25.5M. This typically occurs when a company is investing aggressively in growth, but sustained cash burn can strain the balance sheet. Return on equity stands at 13.7%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 5.3% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has grown from $491.5M (2022) to $658.1M (2025), reflecting a 34% increase over the period.
With a beta below 0.7, American States Water Company typically sees smaller price swings than the overall market, offering a degree of stability during turbulent periods. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. Negative free cash flow means the company is currently spending more than it generates, which may require future fundraising or debt if the trend continues. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing AWR.
