Fair value

American States Water Co receives a 3-star quantitative star rating, indicating our belief that this share class is a balanced choice, but prudent investors should consider looking elsewhere. The stock currently trades at a 4% discount to our quantitative fair value estimate of $85.44 per share, which is reinforced by this estimate's low uncertainty rating.

We need more explanatory data to elaborate on this stock's star rating. We strive to explain the factors driving every rating we assign; however, this is not yet possible for a small fraction of our coverage universe.

Economic moat

The company's narrow economic moat rating suggests it should be able to maintain robust profitability for a decade or longer before competition erodes its advantage. Its moat is bolstered by its strong financial health, which indicates low near-term bankruptcy risk.
