Middlesex Water: Overvalued Amid High Interest Rates
Middlesex Water faces significant headwinds due to high interest rates, which increase borrowing costs for necessary capital expenditures and infrastructure upgrades. MSEX's high P/E ratio of 25x, despite modest growth, suggests overvaluation and potential for further stock price decline. The company's low dividend yield of 2.1% makes it less attractive compared to peers in the water utility sector.

Buy 3 'Safer' Dividend Kings Of 25 From March's 55
The article highlights 55 Dividend Kings, noting that five of the top ten by yield offer annual dividends from a $1K investment exceeding their single share prices. Analysts predict top-ten Kingly net gains ranging from 12.57% to 50.26% for March 2026, with six out of ten top-yield Kings expected to be top gainers. Sixteen out of fifty-five Kings show negative free cash flow margins, making them cash-poor and unsafe to buy; focus on safer Kings like Altria, United Bankshares, and Hormel.
