Reading time: 7 minutes

This stock presentation is based on my Hidden Quality Radar (HQR) - a scoring model that identifies companies with strong substance and growth potential that are still flying under the radar despite their high quality. Consolidated Water is one such case. A niche provider of water desalination whose balance sheet quality, project expertise and geographical focus are coming to the fore in an increasingly underserved market environment.

Here is the rating from the model (85/ 100 points):

- Growth & Profitability (17/20): The company shows solid double-digit growth in revenue and earnings (e.g. 3% YoY revenue growth in Q2 2025, 39% EPS surprise), high operating efficiency with ~38% gross margin and stable EBIT margins above 20%.

- Balance sheet & liquidity (16/20): The financial structure is very strong, with an equity ratio above 80%, net cash position and consistently positive free cash flow generation. Debt is minimal.

- Market Position & Moat (11/15): Consolidated Water has a technological edge in water desalination, is the niche leader in the Caribbean and is increasingly establishing itself in the US. The technological and geographical focus ensures a certain moat.

- Valuation & Momentum (11/15): With a P/E ratio of around 35 (2025) and forward P/E ratio of around 24 (2026), the share is trading slightly below the historical average and is therefore moderately valued. The share price momentum is positive, with the share price rising after better Q2 figures.

- Visibility & Radar (30/30): The company has very low analyst coverage and institutional ownership. The under-the-radar character is therefore very pronounced, which offers opportunities for investors looking for small caps and growth stocks that receive little attention.

While other companies focus on short-term technology cycles $CWCO (+0,66%) operates in a long-term, real economic growth area: clean drinking water in water-scarce regions. The combination of decades of experience, a debt-free balance sheet and an upcoming major project in Hawaii makes the share - despite its ambitious valuation - a structurally interesting quality stock.

A solid growth stock with water as a strategic lever

Consolidated Water operates desalination and water treatment plants in the Caribbean (including the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas), in Mexico and in the south of the USA (Florida). Revenue sources include water sales to end customers, operating contracts for government plants and technical services.

An early project that attracted a lot of media attention was the Rosarito Desalination Project in Mexico (Baja California), which was originally planned as a joint venture between CWCO and Suez. The aim was to supply Baja California and Southern California with desalinated water. However, the project has since been effectively put on hold. There has been no active construction activity since 2020-2021. This is due to regulatory uncertainties, political changes and a lack of funding. CWCO still holds the project company NSC Agua, but according to the current SEC filings (Q2 2025) there are no short-term construction plans.

Nevertheless, the project remains strategically interesting - should the political situation in California change and the need for alternative water sources return to the agenda, it could be reactivated.

Active growth driver: the Kalaeloa project in Hawaii

The new major project in Hawaii is much more concrete: Kalaeloa, a 204-million-dollar seawater desalination plant on the island of Oʻahu. Construction is scheduled to start in 2026, with commissioning planned for 2027. Long-term operation will be governed by a 20-year contract with the Honolulu State Board of Water Supply - with guaranteed service revenues.

Analysts are forecasting a significant increase in earnings from the start of construction:

• 2025 revenue (estimated): 134 million $
• Turnover 2026 (estimated): 211 million $ (+57 %)
• Profit growth 2025 → 2026: +47 %
• EPS increase: 1.11 $ → 1.63 $
• Ø growth until 2027: 36.6% sales / 32.1% profit p. a.

Strong balance sheet, stable margin, predictable cash flows

In addition to the project pipeline focus, it is the operational basis that makes Consolidated Water so robust. The company operates with an EBIT margin of over 20%, is net debt-free, generates stable free cash flow and has an equity ratio of >80%.

The existing water contracts - e.g. in the Cayman Islands - run for years, are inflation-indexed and often government-backed. This structure enables the company to take on new projects without dilution or external financing. At the same time, the model can be scaled gradually - through new markets, not necessarily through larger volumes.

Valuation: ambitious, but underpinned by growth potential

The share of $CWCO (+0,66%) shares are currently valued at a P/E ratio of around 35 - based on expected earnings for 2025 (EPS: USD 1.11). This is not a bargain, but already reflects part of the expected growth.

However, the full potential of the Kalaeloa project from 2026/27 is probably not yet fully priced in. Based on the 2026 EPS estimate of USD 1.63, the forward P/E ratio is reduced to around 24. In relation to the expected earnings growth of over 30% p.a., this results in a moderate PEG ratio - an indication that the share is not overpriced despite its ambitious valuation, but still has room for upside if the pipeline is successfully implemented.

Risks: project risks, regulation, visibility

Despite the operational quality, there are risk factors:

• Project-relatedness: the company is heavily dependent on a few, large projects. Delays or disruptions at Kalaeloa could have a direct impact on growth and valuation.
• Regulation: Desalination plants are politically sensitive, particularly in the USA. Opposition from environmental groups or delays by authorities are always an issue.
• Low visibility: The share is hardly liquid, ETFs are not involved, analysts are hardly active - this makes a quick revaluation or larger allocations difficult.

However, CWCO's conservative structure, clear financing, project transparency and low operational complexity noticeably mitigate these risks.

Peer group: smaller, but superior in terms of balance sheet

In comparison with the large utilities such as $AWK (-0,75%) (American Water Works), $WTRG (-0,28%) (Essential Utilities) or its European counterpart $VIE (-0,45%) (Veolia), Consolidated Water stands out due to the strength of its balance sheet. While many large caps are highly indebted and hardly grow organically, CWCO combines solid operating performance with a financially flexible starting position.

Compared to specialized engineering companies such as $XYL (+0,1%) (Xylem) or $TTEK (+0%) (Tetra Tech), CWCO has significantly higher margins and is less cyclical. Scaling is achieved through regional expansion - not through aggressive cost programs or risky margin levers.

Quality that delivers, not shines

Consolidated Water is a prime example of the HQR model: structurally strong, financially sound, strategically well positioned - but operationally underestimated. With the Kalaeloa project (Hawaii), a real growth catalyst is in the starting blocks. The impact on sales and profits is substantial and already easy to plan.

I am therefore building up an initial position - not as a momentum trade, but as a long-term investment in a genuine quality stock with a clear operational perspective. If water is the new oil, then CWCO may not be the drill - but the infrastructure pipeline through which it flows.

I sold my Amphenol bill today for a total of € 967.60 with a profit of € 233.70. At the same time, I sold half of my Broadcom lever bill to secure the profit-taking, with a partial profit of +476.00€. The Siemens leverage certificate was sold for a profit of €784.

Now I bought the Aixtron bill for around €1000, of which around €30 came from dividends.

Aixtron has new special chips based on gallium nitride chips in the pipeline, which are supposed to be particularly energy efficient and have now broken out of the GD50 and GD200 lines, which in my opinion signals a clear upward trend. Aixtron is still quite dominant and has a moat in its technology.

Let's wait a few days/weeks and then some of the profits from my other bills will be invested in dividend stocks.

I currently consider the following dividend stocks to be undervalued in terms of earnings and dividend yield:

$Tokyo Marine Holdings (JP3910660004)

$WTRG (-0,28%)

$PEP (+0,08%)

$ZTS (-0,37%)

let's see what happens!

Water - chemistry in everyday life

Today a topic is announced, which stood above all by Nestle $NESN (-0,97%) in the last few months. But even on hot summer days, our livelihood and the business behind it are discussed again and again.

What was with Nestle?

Nestle is almost permanently in the criticism. I expressly ask that the activities and personal opinions under the post not be made known. The business unit "Nestle Waters" operates production sites in about 34 countries, for example for the table water "Pure Life". The criticism behind this refers to the production sites in areas where there is traditionally a shortage and, in accordance with pumping, the groundwater level is further lowered. I will leave it open whether Nestle is primarily to blame in this respect. In any case, it is important to remember that water licenses are officially sold to Nestle in all countries. Nevertheless, some YouTubers have realized that they can generate a lot of attention and money by denouncing international corporations. I hope at least that they will think about this in the future when they enjoy their Wagner pizza or their Kitkat in live streams. Otherwise, that would be tantamount to a double standard ...

Whatever one may think about it. There is definitely a danger of nationalization in the event of water shortages at private waterworks. Therefore, I would generally exclude an investment in this respect. In drinking water treatment, however, one cannot do without the private sector. The uses of the individual products are too varied for them to be used specifically for water.

But what is the situation in Germany?

Based on the Food Act, Germany has the Drinking Water Ordinance. The aim of the ordinance is to protect human health and to ensure quality and purity. Since the 2012 update, the problems of legionella have also been taken into account. The suppliers are responsible for this.

More precisely defined are the data in the annexes of the Drinking Water Ordinance itself. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/trinkwv_2001/BJNR095910001.html

But how do I now manage to make water usable?

Of course, this depends first and foremost on your regional origin. Water always has different quality classes and must be processed differently accordingly. According to the German Federal Environment Agency, almost 63% of drinking water comes from groundwater. Significant differences exist, however, especially in the east/west comparison. The irregular and ruthless planned economy of the former GDR has left its mark on the environment even today. In general, however, there are always strong impairments along the industrial metropolises. While the Saale, Oder, Ruhr and Ems rivers in particular bear the marks of industrialization, the soils around the chemical sites of central Germany in particular are still heavily impaired. I have taken corresponding accusations from the Water and Soil Atlas.

But why this huge introduction now?

Both in the air and in the soil we have countless impurities or even toxic particles. These are washed out by rain, get into the soil and thus ultimately into the groundwater.

In the course of this, suitable methods must now be found to maintain our drinking water quality.

Basically, we have the possibility to separate the substances from the water mechanically, thermally or chemically.

How does this work?

Due to the difference in regional water qualities, drinking water treatment must of course always be considered very specifically. Nevertheless, chemical treatment with ozone is always the first step. The treated drinking water is then fed into the public network via mechanical separation stages, such as sedimentation and filtration, through to chemical separation with regard to the degree of flocculation and pH value regulation. Samples are regularly taken by the authorities and tested in independent laboratories.

But who benefits from drinking water treatment?

From a personal point of view, I consider the investment in a private drinking water producer, such as Nestle or Danone, as risky. $BN (-0,69%) as risky. One can be denounced too much in the public perception and the more likely a discontinuation of the table water can become. Furthermore, especially in countries where there are shortages, one may well expect nationalization of the production and treatment facilities.

In addition, there are lucrative and promising opportunities for participation in the suppliers.

An investment in the treatment of drinking water can necessarily be linked to the treatment of wastewater.

The most prominent representatives of the private sector in this regard are American Water Works $AWK (-0,75%) , known as the dividend king. In direct competition, if one can call it competition at all, is Essential Utilites, but also United Utilites. $WTRG (-0,28%) but also United Utilites $UU. (+0,72%) in Great Britain.

On the German market, by the way, Veolia $VIE (-0,45%) with its subsidiary Veolia Water dominates the German market. It holds countless stakes in municipal waterworks. All in all, according to its own website, it supplies about 5 million people in Germany with drinking water and processes their wastewater.

Apart from direct drinking water processing, there are also very lucrative suppliers of drinking water solutions and quality assurance. The best known example is probably Xylem $XYL (+0,1%) . In addition to fluid technology, which includes pump construction and other equipment, the analytics division is a sunshine for investors. The broad range covers the entire field of water analysis. This means that the company does not only participate in municipal water systems, but also in industrial customers who are subject to legal requirements. It is almost impossible to find a direct competitor that is so broadly positioned in this segment.

However, if you want to give it a try, KSB's pumps division is $KSB (+1,13%) is very representative in Europe. Whereas in the USA, IDEX $IEX (-0,24%) can offer an alternative in the field of technical pumps.

But also in the field of chemical water and wastewater treatment, some companies have specialized.

Ecolab $ECL (+0,74%) , better known for cleaning agents and disinfectants, has been owned by Nalco Water since 2011. The focus here is on water and wastewater treatment additives, which are also part of any drinking water processing. Notable among these are slime solvents for biocides and legionella, as well as corrosion protection additives and hardness stabilizers.

Another particular competitor is DuPont $DD (-0,71%) . In particular, the "Water & Protection" division. The focus here is on special resins that can adsorb specific substances from water and also filter them. Depending on the sourcing, this extends into the nano- and ultrafiltration range. Ion exchangers can also be used to ensure higher water purity.

Have you used water today? Then you have probably already come into contact with one of these representatives.

Servus my dears ✌️☺️

Social Media , curse and blessing at the same time 😁 on the one hand you can exchange experiences and on the other hand there are people who know everything better and are clairvoyants and can tell you 100% with which strategy you will achieve the best return 😂

Since there has been in recent times at getquin again and again propaganda against the dividend strategy😁 and today #dividendsthursday I wanted to summarize my aristocrats and possible candidates for the future where I myself am invested. ☺️👍

If you discover the dividend strategy for yourself then it is important to buy shares that annually increase the dividend or at least not lower, and there are 80% actually only stocks from the USA in question 😁👍

General Electrics ($GCP (-0,57%)) - One of the largest companies in the United States announced it would split into three publicly traded individual companies. These companies will then focus on the "Aviation", "Health Care" and "Energy" industries. Wall Street analysts are in favor of the company's plan. This could enable GE to escape from the astonishingly weak performance of the last two decades.

Tesla ($TL0 (-3,07%)) - Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk (pictured right), sold Tesla shares shortly before his brother's Twitter poll. As previously reported, Elon Musk had a vote on the sale of ten percent of his Tesla shares via Twitter. The majority of his followers were in favor of a sale. As a result, the Tesla share price temporarily plummeted to just under 880 euros. Now Elon Musk could again find himself confronted with the U.S. supervisory authority SEC as a result of his market-moving tweets. In addition, publicly viewable SEC forms show that Kendal Musk, who is also a Tesla supervisory board member, apparently sold off his Tesla shares before the survey. He exercised an option to buy 25,000 Tesla shares at $74.17 apiece and sold them right back for prices between $1,223 and $1,236. Thus, he made a profit of $108.8 million. It remains unclear whether he knew about his brother's upcoming Twitter poll.

ING Group ($INN1 (+0,52%)) - ING's CIO, Annerie Vreugdenhil, announced at the Singapour FinTech Festival that the bank with the orange lion and the ad featuring Dirk Nowitzki is currently working on a DeFi (Decentralised Finance) P2P lending project. It is doing this in cooperation with the Dutch financial regulator AFM. The big bank's ambition to become part of the crypto world became known at the latest through the whitepaper they published in early 2021 about the ways in which banks can learn from what is happening in the crypto space. As a strong collaborative partner, ING cited Aave ($AAVE/EUR (-0,61%)) - a project that offers interest on over-collateralized crypto assets without the need for an intermediary.

Apple ($APC (+1,23%)) - The tech giant's CEO stated in the past day that he personally holds cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum and Bitcoin. However, according to his statements, the Apple company does not currently plan to invest in cryptocurrencies.
