Artesian Water Company, Inc. Files Application with Delaware Public Service Commission for Increase in Customer Rates
NEWARK, Del., April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artesian Water Company, Inc. (“Artesian”), a subsidiary of Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA), filed an application with the Delaware Public Service Commission (PSC) today for a change in customer rates. The rate application submitted to the PSC for review and approval consists of a requested increase in revenue of 12.41%, or approximately $10.8 million, on an annualized basis. The increase also reflects the recovery of investments made under the Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) of 1.66% currently in place that will reset to 0.0% once new base rates are implemented, meaning the incremental increase to existing billed rates would be 10.75%. This rate filing will undergo extensive review by both the PSC and the Division of the Public Advocate (DPA).

Artesian Resources Vs. Essential Utilities: Why I Swapped
Artesian Resources currently offers a conservative balance sheet, attractive valuation, and tangible growth opportunities, making it a compelling Buy at ~$31. Essential Utilities has shown stronger historical growth, but now carries higher leverage and valuation multiples, limiting its near-term upside. This one's a Hold at ~$38. Artesian's lower debt profile should provide greater financial flexibility going forward, while WTRG's broader footprint and capital commitments pose higher risks.

8 Stocks I'm Buying Amid A Market Rotation Toward Dividend Stocks
The market is rotating towards non-tech dividend stocks, with dividend ETFs outperforming the Magnificent 7 so far this year. Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is more political theater than a serious effort, in my opinion, to reduce government waste, with exaggerated savings claims. Key economic metrics to monitor include housing starts, the Dallas Fed Weekly Economic Index, the Conference Board Coincident Index, total employment, and industrial production.

7 Stocks And 1 ETF I'm Buying As Inflation Is Lower Than It Looks
The January 2025 CPI report shows inflation isn't in a sustained rebound, with temporary factors like shelter CPI, wildfires, and bird flu driving higher-than-expected inflation. The labor market shows mixed signals, with private sector hiring slowing but government hiring and residential construction employment remaining strong. Deportations could change this. The stock market appears richly valued across most sectors, not just the top 10 mega-cap names, warranting caution despite some undervalued opportunities.

10 Stocks I'm Buying As A New Government Takes Power
Global warming isn't just a "woke" issue; it has real financial implications for energy investments. DOGE has lofty and worthy goals, but the reality is that Congress controls the purse strings. Delayed Onset Tariff Syndrome (DOTS) will impact global trade and investment strategies. Exactly how remains in question.

7 Stocks I'm Buying Amid This Goldilocks (For Now) Economy
There is an often overlooked difference between income investing and dividend growth investing. The two are not the same. Timely charts showing that inflation is even more subdued than the official CPI metrics show, but also what threatens to disrupt the disinflationary trend. A discussion of three books dividend growth investors would benefit from reading. Only one is specifically about dividend growth investing.
