Description: GWRS Global Water Resources July 12, 2025
Global Water Resources, Inc. (GWRS) is a water resource management company operating in Arizona, serving approximately 111,000 people across 36,000 homes in metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson. As a regulated water utility, the company manages water, wastewater, and recycled water systems, providing a critical service to its customers.
To evaluate GWRS performance, key performance indicators (KPIs) such as revenue growth, customer acquisition costs, and operational efficiency can be examined. Given its regulated nature, GWRS revenue is likely tied to rate structures approved by state regulators, and its ability to maintain a stable customer base is crucial. The companys return on equity (RoE) of 10.28% indicates a relatively stable return for shareholders, although this is somewhat tempered by a high forward P/E ratio of 54.35, suggesting high growth expectations.
From a financial perspective, GWRS market capitalization of $283.57M USD indicates a relatively small-cap stock, potentially offering opportunities for growth as the company continues to expand its customer base and invest in its infrastructure. The companys dividend yield, not explicitly stated, is an important metric for income investors and can be calculated using the latest dividend payment and current stock price.
To further assess GWRS investment potential, analyzing its capital expenditure plans, regulatory environment, and industry trends can provide valuable insights.
