Quarterly earnings beat consensus
York Water's second-quarter report, issued on August 6, 2026, showed earnings per share of USD 0.49 against USD 0.40 consensus and revenue of USD 23.52 million versus USD 22.18 million expected, as MarketBeat reported on October 1, 2026. The USD 0.09 EPS beat and USD 1.34 million revenue beat are the clearest operating comparison in the latest reported quarter.
Yahoo Finance said on September 12, 2026, that first-half revenue reached USD 43.59 million, up from USD 37.66 million a year earlier, while net income rose to USD 12.43 million from USD 8.69 million. The figures connect the quarterly beat to the rate increase that took effect on March 1, 2026.
Consensus remains at Hold
One analyst rated the shares Hold, with an average 12-month price target of USD 31.00, according to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026. The target lies 0.55 percent above the October 7 price, leaving the consensus close to the latest market quotation rather than signaling a wide valuation gap.
The company also declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.2280, payable on October 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2026, according to MarketBeat. That payment date gives income-oriented holders the next defined corporate checkpoint.
