York Water (YORW) reported steady FY 2025 Q3 revenue of US$20.4 million and EPS of US$0.43, but its premium valuation is being tested by margin compression. The company’s 26.1% net profit margin is down from 28.6% last year, raising concerns about sensitivity to financing costs, dividend coverage, and a P/E of 24x which is above the industry average and DCF fair value. Investors are evaluating if its mid-single-digit growth narrative can continue to justify its higher valuation amidst these financial pressures.
