Southwest needs water and is a very fast growing section of the USA in terms of population. You can live without many things, but everyone needs water.

After looking at the Particulars of this Company, I like it. It seems Quite Sound(with improvig cash flows), but I fail to see any reasons to feel it would Outperform the Markets.First and formost is that competiors have done a lot better financially.SWWC has Gross Margins of 25.85% while Competiors have Margins of 58 to 61%. Next,SWWC has operating Margins of only 10.35%,while Competitors have NMargins of 16 to21%.Earnings per share for SWWC are 0.391,while Competitors are running around 1.37 to 1.40.SWWC has a P/E ratio of 38.34which puts it about the industry standard of 29.67 and Competitors are running near or below the industry averages.I just don't see the Company doing better than Average at this point.

SWWC is in acquisition mode, in an industry where user fees can do nothing but increase - especially as more and more people move to the DESERT.

It's H20, supply and demand are against each other.

A little over valued. 40 time earnings for a utility, are you crazy.
