Analysis

Consolidated Water Co (CWCO) currently trades at $30.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $20.63, implying the stock looks roughly 32.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Consolidated Water Co generated revenue of $128M at a net margin of 13.5%. Revenue declined 11.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $121M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $15.47 (bear case) to $25.79 (bull case); at $30.49, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 22% below its 52-week high and 9% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -10% fair-value upside, at -32%, CWCO screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
