01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K/A filed July 6, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

American Water Works Company, Inc. (AWK) announced through its subsidiary, Missouri-American Water Company, that it has filed a request for new water and wastewater rates with the Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC).

This filing seeks an annualized incremental revenue increase of approximately $179 milliona, excluding infrastructure surcharges, to support significant capital investments. The request is based on a proposed return on equity of 10.50% and a capital structure with a majority equity component. These rate adjustments are primarily driven by approximately $1.6 billion in capital investments, both completed and planned, between June 2025 and May 2028.

Missouri American Water anticipates that the new rates will become effective in June 2027, with potential subsequent adjustments. Investors should monitor the MoPSC's approval process and the final impact on revenue, as the actual rates and implementation timeline are subject to regulatory review and approval.
