Middlesex Water has corrected sharply from a period of prior overvaluation. MSEX remains a slow-growing, defensive utility, though its operational results have improved a bit lately. Interest rate environment and rising bond yields continue to pressure Middlesex and peers, limiting upside despite improved fundamentals.
Middlesex Water Company has typically held less appeal than some undervalued peers in the sector - that may be about to change following the recent results. I look at the company as an investment potential for the year of 2026. Learn why I believe that MSEX is now a potentially better investment than other companies in the field, and if there are companies that I view as better-suited.
Middlesex Water Company remains a stable, defensive utility investment, benefiting from regulated income and a long history of dividend increases. MSEX is entering a heavy infrastructure investment phase, which will likely pressure EPS growth in 2025 but supports long-term operational resilience. A recent positive rate case decision allows a 9.5% RoE, with another New Jersey rate case pending that could further boost revenues.
