MIDDLESEX WATER CO
Middlesex Water Company (ticker: MSEX) is a regulated water and wastewater utility serving customers primarily in New Jersey, with a market capitalisation of about $1.08B. The company’s revenues are driven by regulated rates set through state utility commissions, customer growth, and recurring service charges. Investors often watch its track record on dividends and steady cash flows typical of regulated utilities, balanced against the need for ongoing capital expenditure to maintain and upgrade infrastructure. Key considerations include regulatory decisions on allowed returns, sensitivity to interest rates and financing costs, weather and consumption patterns, and the company’s execution on capital projects. While utilities can offer predictable income, they are not risk-free: rates can change, infrastructure work can be costly, and returns are subject to regulatory outcomes. This summary is for general educational purposes only and is not personal financial advice; investors should assess suitability and seek professional guidance where appropriate.
