<h3>Comparing American Water Works P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>25.46</strong> in the Water Utilities industry, American Water Works Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of <strong>29.58</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that American Water Works Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727722815_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
<p>Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.</p>
<p>In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.</p>
<p>When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.</p>
<p>Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.  </p>
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
<p>In the domain of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A <strong>P</strong> in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while <strong>S</strong> signifies a sale. Transaction code <strong>C</strong> signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code <strong>A</strong> denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.</p>

The Company affirms its long-term financial targets, including its long-term EPS and dividend growth rate targets of 7-9%. The company's earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" below and under "Risk Factors" in its annual, quarterly, and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All statements related to earnings and earnings per share refer to diluted earnings and earnings per share.</p>

Here's How Much $100 Invested In American Water Works 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>After what seemed like a slam-dunk victory for former President Donald Trump, circumstances in the political realm have become <a href="https://www.economist.com/united-states/2024/07/31/the-kamala-harris-effect-on-the-polls-has-been-dramatic?utm_campaign=a.the-economist-today&amp;utm_medium=email.internal-newsletter.np&amp;utm_source=salesforce-marketing-cloud&amp;utm_term=2024081&amp;utm_content=ed-picks-image-link-1&amp;etear=nl_today_1&amp;utm_campaign=a.the-economist-today&amp;utm_medium=email.internal-newsletter.np&amp;utm_source=salesforce-marketing-cloud&amp;utm_term=8/1/2024&amp;utm_id=1909658">much more exciting</a>. It&rsquo;s not entirely clear that Vice President Kamala Harris can do enough to change the dynamics of the race to her favor. Still, polling data shows that she&rsquo;s closing the gap to Trump. And that augurs well for stable <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/dividend-stocks/">dividend stocks</a>.</p>



<p>By the next few weeks, who knows? The race could look much different. Given how contentious the entire electoral environment is, one can expect hard feelings to rise to the forefront. Certainly, with the nation being so binary in its ideologies and viewpoints, no matter who wins out, the other side might not take kindly to the matter.</p>



<p>Obviously, Wall Street isn&rsquo;t going to provide social healing. However, it does offer a place to protect your money. About the only guarantee is heightened tensions. With that in mind, it&rsquo;s time to turn to stable dividend stocks.</p>



<h2>Waste Management (WM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/trash1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A hand with a yellow rubber glove holding up a big black trash bag in front of a teal background."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>A company that arguably has the most self-explanatory name ever, <strong>Waste Management</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wm-stock-quote/"><strong>WM</strong></a>) makes for a great case for stable dividend stocks. It&rsquo;s not a generous idea by any means, with a forward yield of only 1.48%. However, it&rsquo;s a consistent player, providing a five-year average yield of 1.65%. In addition, the payout ratio is modest at 46.1%, meaning that yield sustainability concerns should be muted.</p>



<p>Also, let&rsquo;s not forget the most important factor (at least in my opinion): the narrative is permanently relevant. Humans consume stuff and they produce waste. That&rsquo;s just reality. Unfortunately, there&rsquo;s only so many things that can be done with the rubbish. Waste Management enjoys the specialized acumen along with the regulatory approval to run such a business.</p>



<p>To be fair, WM stock isn&rsquo;t particularly cheap, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/wm/key-statistics">trading at 3.9X trailing-year sales</a>. However, analysts expect steady growth over the next two years. By the end of fiscal 2025, they&rsquo;re projecting <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/wm/analysis">revenue to land at $23.42 billion</a>. In contrast, 2023 sales sat at $20.43 billion. WM isn&rsquo;t exciting but it makes for a sensible candidate for stable dividend stocks.</p>



<h2>Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/shutterstock_1073950868-300x169.png" alt="Procter &amp; Gamble Union Distribution Center. P&amp;G is an American Multinational Consumer Goods Company"><div>Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>A popular consumer goods giant, <strong>Procter &amp; Gamble</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pg-stock-quote/"><strong>PG</strong></a>) makes for another sensible example for stable dividend stocks. People use products like toilet paper and soap every day. Therefore, P&amp;G enjoys maximum predictability. As with Waste Management, I wouldn&rsquo;t classify the entity as generous. However, it does offer a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/pg/key-statistics">forward yield of 2.5%</a>. In addition, its five-year trailing average yield comes in at 2.41%.</p>



<p>Another factor that benefits P&amp;G is brand recognition and loyalty. If a child grows up with P&amp;G products, he or she may carry this forward if they decide to start a family of their own. This predictability is evident in the company&rsquo;s financials. In the past four quarters, it averaged earnings per share of $1.65, beating the consensus view of $1.55.</p>



<p>Now, PG stock isn&rsquo;t cheap, trading hands at 4.73X trailing-year revenue. In the past year, the metric landed at 4.44X. However, analysts see slow and steady growth over the next two years. By the end of fiscal 2026 (calendar 2025), <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/pg/analysis">revenue could reach $89.76 billion</a>. That&rsquo;s noticeably better than 2023&rsquo;s print of $84.04 billion.</p>



<h2>Home Depot (HD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/hd1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="the outside of a home depot store"><div>Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Home-improvement retailer <strong>Home Depot</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hd-stock-quote/"><strong>HD</strong></a>) makes an excellent case for stable dividend stocks thanks to its holistic dependability. Stuff goes wrong all the time, making the business indispensable. Also, it&rsquo;s open (when feasible) during inclement conditions, thereby representing a pillar of the community. Right now, the company offers a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/hd/key-statistics">forward yield of 2.44%</a>. Its payout ratio comes in at a relatively modest 57.1%.</p>



<p>As you might expect, one of Home Depot&rsquo;s core attributes is consistency. In the past four quarters, the retailer generated an average EPS of $3.73. This figure beat out the consensus view of $3.64, yielding an average earnings surprise of 2.15%. It&rsquo;s worth clarifying that it did beat all four quarters and did not depend on any one outstanding performance.</p>



<p>To be sure, HD stock has gotten a bit pricier. In the past year, its sales multiple sat at 2.14X. Right now, it&rsquo;s coming in at 2.42X. That said, covering experts believe in consistent growth over the next two years. By the end of fiscal 2025 (calendar 2025), sales could land at $165.16 billion. That&rsquo;s above 2023&rsquo;s haul of $152.67 billion.</p>



<h2>McDonald&rsquo;s (MCD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/mcd-stock-1600-7-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of a red McDonald's french fry container with the yellow &quot;M&quot; logo on it in front of a half red and half yellow background."><div>Source: Nixx Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Fast-food giant <strong>McDonald&rsquo;s</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mcd-stock-quote/"><strong>MCD</strong></a>) makes for a compelling idea for stable dividend stocks. No, salty, greasy burgers and fries aren&rsquo;t good for your health. But man &mdash; they sure are addictive! Not only that, people need a quick pick-me-up occasionally and the Golden Arches fills that demand. It also fills you with passive income, offering a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/mcd/key-statistics">forward yield of 2.52%</a>. Notably, its five-year trailing yield comes in at 2.25%.</p>



<p>If I&rsquo;m being honest, McDonald&rsquo;s has witnessed some shaky performances recently. True, in the past four quarters since the second quarter, MCD&rsquo;s average EPS landed at $2.91. This figure beat the consensus view of $2.86, yielding an earnings surprise of 1.7%. However, misses in Q1 and Q2 of this year made the average beat tighter than necessary.</p>



<p>Relatively speaking, though, MCD has become more attractive. It&rsquo;s still pricey but with a sales multiple of 7.49X, it&rsquo;s actually lower than the prior year&rsquo;s average of 8.56X. By the end of the current fiscal year, revenue may rise to $26.14 billion. That would be up 9.8% from last year, thus offering investors a mix of growth and income.</p>



<h2>American Water Works (AWK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/water_3_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A zoomed in photo of a drop of water hitting a container of water's surface."><div>Source: Sambulov Yevgeniy/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p>Water is the most precious resource and that gives <strong>American Water Works</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/awk-stock-quote/"><strong>AWK</strong></a>) natural legitimacy as one of the stable dividend stocks. Providing water and wastewater management services to several communities, AWK is an integral component of the economy. To be fair, the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/awk/key-statistics">forward dividend yield of 2.15%</a> isn&rsquo;t anything to write home about. Nevertheless, you&rsquo;re getting a truly dependable narrative here.</p>



<p>One caveat exists with AWK stock: the underlying financial performance has been a bit shaky. In the past year since Q2, the utility posted an average EPS of $1.22. This figure missed the average consensus view of $1.23. Sizable misses in the first half of this year raised eyebrows. Nevertheless, American is a utility meaning that it enjoys a natural monopoly.</p>



<p>I wouldn&rsquo;t classify AWK stock as cheap because it&rsquo;s not. Currently, shares trade hands at 6.38X sales. That&rsquo;s above the prior year&rsquo;s metric of 5.79X. However, experts are also looking at steady growth. By end of fiscal 2025, sales could be $4.76 billion. That&rsquo;s up a decent amount from last year&rsquo;s $4.23 billion.</p>



<h2>Sempra (SRE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sre-sempra-energy-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for Sempra (SRE) is seen at the top of an office building."><div>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Sticking with the utility theme, another idea among stable dividend stocks to consider is <strong>Sempra</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sre-stock-quote/"><strong>SRE</strong></a>). Think about the company&rsquo;s hometown San Diego Padres baseball team and how deeply the city loves the ballclub. You got that image in your head? Now, imagine the exact opposite of that and that&rsquo;s basically Sempra. Still, here&rsquo;s why investors love SRE <em>stock</em>: it offers a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/sre/key-statistics">forward yield of 3.1%</a>. The payout ratio isn&rsquo;t bad either at 53.21%.</p>



<p>Before my fellow San Diegans get the pitchforks out, I&rsquo;m not here to sing the praises of Sempra. As a consumer, utilities stink. It&rsquo;s just the reality of this love-hate affair. However, as an investor, it&rsquo;s generally more on the love side because of the underlying predictability. In the past year since Q1, it beat all four of its EPS targets. The company just released Q2 results, <a href="https://www.sempra.com/newsroom/press-releases/sempra-reports-second-quarter-2023-earnings-results#:~:text=SAN%20DIEGO%2C%20Aug.,or%20%241.77%20per%20diluted%20share.">posting earnings of $1.91 per diluted share</a>.</p>



<p>SRE stock has been on the move recently and so it&rsquo;s not cheap. We&rsquo;re talking 3.68X sales, which compares to the prior year&rsquo;s average of 2.69X. Still, I&rsquo;m liking the steady profitability expansion. By the end of fiscal 2025, EPS could be $5.16 on revenue of $16.64 billion. Last year, Sempra posted EPS of $4.61 on sales of $16.72 billion.</p>



<h2>Realty Income (O)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/reit-1600-300x169.png" alt="REITs to buy Real estate investment trust REIT on an office desk."><div>Source: Vitalii Vodolazskyi / Shutterstock</div></div><p>If you&rsquo;re a fan of stable dividend stocks, <strong>Realty Income</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/o-stock-quote/"><strong>O</strong></a>) may be right up your alley. Structured as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, Realty Income generates cash flow from over 15,450 properties, per its <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/O/profile/">profile</a>. It pays out a very generous yield of 5.5%. Further, its five-year yield lands at 4.64%. Best of all, the REIT pays out monthly. With enough in the tank, you can use it to pay your bills.</p>



<p>Another reason to consider O stock is the underlying utility of the business. From pharmacies to home-improvement retailers, Realty covers it all. Therefore, it&rsquo;s technically one of the most relevant ideas you can consider. That being said, it&rsquo;s a bit on the wild side when it comes to the financials. In the past year since Q1, the company posted an average EPS of 27 cents, missing the consensus view of 34 cents.</p>



<p>Also, O stock isn&rsquo;t cheap, trading hands at 9.62X sales. It also trades at 38.31X forward earnings. That said, analysts are looking for EPS to rise to $1.35 by year&rsquo;s end. Sales could also jump 23.2% to $5.03 billion.</p>

7 Stable Dividend Stocks to Buy Ahead of Uncharted Political Territory

Dividend Champion, Contender, And Challenger Highlights: Week Of August 11

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>It&rsquo;s an asset and resource that we use everyday and therefore, we become desensitized to its importance. But water really is the golden ticket for the future of global societies and economies. Life on this planet cannot exist without it. And therefore, its management and stewardship are incredibly critical. By logical deduction, investors jittery about present market dynamics should consider the best <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/water/">water stocks</a> to buy.</p>



<p>Relevance doesn&rsquo;t guarantee upside, let me just be clear about that point. Water-related enterprises are generally safe not necessarily because they will turn you into the next Warren Buffett. Rather, the underlying industries enjoy a pertinence that will never fade. Indeed, with global population growth and competition for resources, the best water stocks benefit from a higher probability of market success.</p>



<p>Further, water utilities feature heavy regulation. Not just anyone can show up and start a resource infrastructure business &ndash; that&rsquo;s just not how this works. With that in mind, below are enticing ideas for best water stocks.</p>



<h2>American Water Works (AWK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/water_5_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of water being poured into a glass that's sitting on a table."><div>Source: HQuality/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p>One of the top names among the best water stocks, <strong>American Water Works</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/awk-stock-quote/"><strong>AWK</strong></a>) falls under the regulated utilities space. It offers water and wastewater services to approximately 1,700 communities in 14 states. In total, the company serves about 3.5 million active customers. It&rsquo;s consistently profitable although to be fair, it doesn&rsquo;t always hit its projected target for earnings per share.</p>



<p>Nevertheless, the company benefits from a permanently relevant narrative; after all, water is the most precious resource we have. Right now, shares are trading hands at 29.34X trailing-year revenue. That&rsquo;s a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/awk/key-statistics">noticeable premium</a> compared to the prior year&rsquo;s average multiple of nearly 26X.</p>



<p>However, context matters. Analysts are modeling EPS to reach $5.25 in fiscal 2024. If so, that would imply an expansion of 7.14% from last year&rsquo;s print of $4.90. In the following year, EPS could rise to $5.66, with a high-side view of 7.81%.</p>



<p>Just as well, the utility offers a forward dividend yield of 2.13%. The payout ratio is moderately elevated though still reasonable at 58.93%. Therefore, it makes a solid candidate for best water stocks.</p>



<h2>Essential Utilities (WTRG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/water_4_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of small bubbles in a container of water."><div>Source: khak/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p>Another top player in the regulated utilities space, <strong>Essential Utilities</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wtrg-stock-quote/"><strong>WTRG</strong></a>) provides water and wastewater services. It also provides natural gas in select markets. Per its public profile, Essential serves 5.5 million residential customers covering the full spectrum: residential, commercial, industrial and other utility customers. It&rsquo;s a consistently profitable enterprise, although again, it doesn&rsquo;t always hit its EPS targets.</p>



<p>Investors interested in the best water stocks may appreciate WTRG for its valuation. Right now, shares trade hands at 19.5X trailing-year earnings. That&rsquo;s actually a bit lower than the prior year&rsquo;s average metric of 20.06X. Presently, the forward multiple stands at 20.08X.</p>



<p>For fiscal 2024, analysts are <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/wtrg/analysis">modeling EPS to hit $2.07</a>. If so, that would imply a growth rate of 11.29% from the prior year&rsquo;s haul of $1.86. In the following year, earnings could march up again to $2.14. The high-side view calls for $2.20.</p>



<p>Another element that works in favor of WTRG stock is the forward yield, which stands at 3.27%. With an acceptable payout ratio of 60.22%, the implied yield sustainability makes Essential one of the best water stocks to consider.</p>



<h2>Global Water Resources (GWRS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/water1600-300x169.jpg" alt="a picture of water"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Based in Phoenix, Arizona, <strong>Global Water Resources</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gwrs-stock-quote/"><strong>GWRS</strong></a>) is a water resource management firm. It owns, operates and manages regulated water, wastewater and recycle water systems. Its coverage is more limited than other ideas among the best water stocks, primarily covering metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson. It serves about 82,000 people in approximately 32,000 homes.</p>



<p>That doesn&rsquo;t sound like much but context matters. Global features a market capitalization of less than $295 million at time of writing. Yes, that makes GWRS stock subject to volatility. However, it also has the potential to rocket higher. Also, like its peers, Global is consistently profitable. In the past year, it generated EPS of 7 cents (beating the consensus view of 6 cents).</p>



<p>Of course, nothing is for free. While GWRS could fly higher thanks to its diminutive nature, it carries a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/gwrs/key-statistics">rich premium</a>: 45.79X trailing-year earnings and 41.84X forward earnings. However, it&rsquo;s also fair to point out that analysts are modeling for EPS to rise 7.7% to 28 cents this year. In the next, EPS could move up again to 31 cents.</p>



<p>For the risk, investors can enjoy a forward yield of 2.53%. Overall, it&rsquo;s a solid idea.</p>

The 3 Best Water Stocks to Buy in August 2024

Argus Research Remains a Buy on American Water (AWK)

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Are you starting to get nervous about the frothy stock market and thinking about taking some profits off the table? You&rsquo;re not alone. With the economy flashing warning signs and many high-flying tech names coming back down to earth, it might be time to consider shifting some of your portfolio into recession-resistant stocks.</p>



<p>Last week was a bloodbath for many market darlings, and fear is still gripping investors. Frankly, I believe this fear is justified. Unemployment is ticking up, job growth is slowing and the Federal Reserve looks poised to start cutting interest rates soon. Historically, rate cuts have often been a precursor to recessions.</p>



<p>Even the Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett has been aggressively selling <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/">tech stocks</a> lately. When Buffett starts battening down the hatches, it&rsquo;s worth paying attention.</p>



<p>Economic indicators like the inverted yield curve and the Sahm rule, which have reliably predicted past recessions, are flashing red. Thus, consider rotating some of your profits into recession-resistant stocks, such as these seven.</p>



<h2>Republic Services (RSG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rsg1600-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of a blue Republic Services trash truck driving on the highway on a cloudy day."><div>Source: Michael T Hartman / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>I believe <strong>Republic Services</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rsg-stock-quote/"><strong>RSG</strong></a></span>) is one of the most stable and consistent stocks you can own, and for a pretty self-explanatory reason. Trash collection is usually not significantly affected by economic downturns or recessions. Moreover, Republic Services benefits from the ever-increasing number of U.S. households, which is only going to rise further based on recent migration trends.</p>



<p>In my view, RSG stock is a solid recession-resistant holding, and it also offers a small 1.16% dividend yield.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-85.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-85.png" alt="Recession-Resistant stocks: RSG dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>Analysts <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RSG/earnings/estimates">expect mid-single-digit revenue growth</a> and low double-digit EPS expansion in the coming years. I think that&rsquo;s sufficient to justify the stock&rsquo;s current premium valuation.</p>



<p>Additionally, Republic Services is making strides in sustainability, hitting its emissions reduction target two years ahead of schedule. However, BMO Capital Markets recently <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/nyse-rsg-downgrade-2024-08-01/">downgraded</a> the stock to &ldquo;market perform&rdquo;, so analysts have differing opinions.</p>



<p>Regardless, I expect it to weather a recession well.</p>



<h2>Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/jnj1600b-300x169.jpg" alt="jnj healthcare stocks"><div>Source: Raihana Asral / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Johnson &amp; Johnson</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/jnj-stock-quote/"><strong>JNJ</strong></a></span>) is a healthcare behemoth with its fingers in everything from pharmaceuticals to medical devices. The company just reported solid Q2 of fiscal year 2024 results, with worldwide sales <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/johnson-johnson-reports-q2-2024-102000961.html">growing 6.6% operationally to $22.4 billion</a>. &ldquo;Innovative Medicine&rdquo; segment sales surged 7.8% due to brands like Darzalex and Tremfya.</p>



<p>Yet, it&rsquo;s not all sunshine and rainbows. JNJ faces some headwinds, like the upcoming biosimilar competition for immunology blockbuster Stelara in Europe. Also, the company can&rsquo;t seem to shake its talc litigation woes, though it looks close to getting enough claimant support for a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-12/j-j-gets-plaintiff-backing-for-6-5-billion-baby-powder-accord">$6.5 billion settlement</a>.</p>



<p>Still, analysts remain bullish overall, with a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/jnj/forecast">consensus price target of $172</a>, implying a 9% upside. Cantor Fitzgerald is particularly optimistic, recently <a href="https://www.moomoo.com/news/post/41817594/cantor-fitzgerald-reiterates-overweight-on-johnson-johnson-maintains-215-price?level=1&amp;data_ticket=1710511167522379">reiterating</a> an &ldquo;overweight&rdquo; rating and a $215 target. I tend to agree that J&amp;J&rsquo;s diversified business and 3.1% dividend yield make it a safer harbor in this stormy market.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-86.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-86.png" alt="JNJ dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>It may not be the most exciting stock, but you could do a lot worse than this reliable healthcare giant as recession fears swirl.</p>



<h2>Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/bipc-1600-300x169.png" alt="Brookfield Infrastructure logo on a phone screen in front of a blurred computer screen. BIPC stock."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Brookfield Infrastructure</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bip-stock-quote/"><strong>BIP</strong></a></span>) has been one of the steadiest stocks recently, and the company can continue building on that record to weather a potential recession well. As an infrastructure company, it is benefiting from significant government subsidies. And even though it&rsquo;s based in Canada, it has access to a wealth of infrastructure businesses in the U.S. and abroad. I see significant room for growth going forward that a recession is unlikely to derail.</p>



<p>In Q2 FY24, Brookfield Infrastructure reported a <a href="https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/full?dockey=1330-9197393en-47M7MHP65RCQAH45QJUEH32D60">10% year-over-year (YOY)</a> increase in funds from operations (<span>FFO</span>) to $608 million. The utilities, transport, midstream and data segments all contributed to this growth. Most analysts remain bullish, with an average <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/bip/forecast">price target of $38.50</a>, representing a 27.4% upside.</p>



<p>The surge in artificial intelligence (<span>AI</span>) adoption is generating substantial capital deployment opportunities across BIP&rsquo;s data, electric utility and natural gas sectors. Couple that with the stock&rsquo;s solid 5.4% dividend yield, and you have a recession-resistant stock worth holding onto tightly in 2024.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-87.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-87.png" alt="BIP dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><h2>J M Smucker (SJM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/sjm-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="company sign outside smucker's headquarters SJM stock"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>J M Smucker</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sjm-stock-quote/"><strong>SJM</strong></a></span>) manufactures food products with very sticky demand like snacks, peanut butter and pet food. These categories are unlikely to see much of a pullback even in a recession, as they make up a small portion of consumer spending and bring joy to kids and pets. J M Smucker&rsquo;s stock has already taken a 27% hit since the start of 2023. So, I think much of the downside risk is priced in at this point.</p>



<p>The company delivered solid Q4 FY24 results, with <a href="https://news.alphastreet.com/jm-smucker-sjm-q4-2024-earnings-key-financials-and-quarterly-highlights/">net sales of $2.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.66</a>, up 1% YOY. For FY25, management is guiding for both positive volume and pricing growth, a rarity in the current packaged food landscape, according to Barclays analyst Andrew Lazar. Also, J M Smucker is investing heavily in its fast-growing Uncrustables brand to drive household penetration.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-88.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-88.png" alt="SJM dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>As a cash cow with an attractive 3.7% dividend yield, I view SJM as a resilient pick to depend upon to weather a potential economic storm.</p>



<h2>American Water Works (AWK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/water_5_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of water being poured into a glass that's sitting on a table."><div>Source: HQuality/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p><strong>American Water Works</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/awk-stock-quote/"><strong>AWK</strong></a></span>) is the largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company in the U.S., providing water services to approximately 14 million people across 24 states. The name is pretty self-explanatory. I see American Water Works as a recession-resistant holding that could help your portfolio weather any upcoming market volatility.</p>



<p>Since the start of 2022, American Water Works&rsquo; stock has been on a downtrend, falling 35% before rebounding in April this year. Over the past six months, the stock has recovered by an impressive 17.4%. I believe the current risk-reward setup is solid, especially with a potential recession looming on the horizon. If the market recovers, there&rsquo;s significant upside potential for American Water Works. On the flip side, the downside risk may be quite limited at this point.</p>



<p>One thing I love about this company is its strong track record of dividend growth.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-89.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-89.png" alt="AWK dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>As of August 14, 2024, American Water Works yields an attractive 2.16%. That&rsquo;s a nice bonus on top of the stock&rsquo;s defensive characteristics.</p>



<p>In Q2 FY24, American Water Works&rsquo; Regulated Businesses segment reported <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/american-water-reports-solid-second-quarter-2024-results-narrows-2024-eps-guidance">net income of $274 million</a>, slightly down from $278 million in the same period last year. However, the company affirmed its 2024 earnings per share guidance range of $5.20 to $5.30 and its long-term EPS and dividend growth rate targets of 7-9%.</p>



<p>So, if you&rsquo;re looking for a recession-resistant stock to anchor your portfolio, consider adding some American Water Works to your holdings.</p>



<h2>Mondelez International (MDLZ)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/oreo-mdlz-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="A zoomed in image of one Oreo cookie leaning on another Oreo cookie with cookie crumbles in front and a white background."><div>Source: DenisMArt / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Mondelez International</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mdlz-stock-quote/"><strong>MDLZ</strong></a></span>) manufactures and markets snack food and beverage products worldwide. The company recently reported solid second-quarter 2024 results, with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/home/newswire/earnings-alerts/mondelez-international-mdlz-earnings-2q-adjusted-eps-surpasses-estimates-despite-revenue-miss/">organic net revenue growing 2.5%</a> despite a challenging economic environment. Adjusted EPS increased an impressive 25% on a constant currency basis, driven by strong operating gains and cost discipline.</p>



<p>I believe Mondelez International represents a fairly safe stock to continue holding, even if a recession hits. Companies with beloved snack brands like Oreo, Ritz, Cadbury and Toblerone tend to have loyal customers who keep buying their favorites in good times and bad. That&rsquo;s the reason MDLZ stock has been on a consistent upward climb for the past 15 years.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-90.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-90.png" alt="MDLZ dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>With a 2.67% dividend yield, Mondelez International should also put cash in your pockets during downturns, though it isn&rsquo;t really as stable due to the late-2012 cut.</p>



<p>Regardless, analysts are bullish, with Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/nasdaq-mdlz-initiated-coverage-2024-08-12/">recently initiating coverage with a &ldquo;buy&rdquo; rating</a>. The <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/mdlz/forecast">consensus price target of $79 implies 18% upside</a> from current levels. While no stock is completely recession-proof, I&rsquo;m confident that Mondelez International&rsquo;s snacking business will hold up better than most.</p>



<h2>WEC Energy (WEC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wec-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="WEC Energy Group logo seen displayed on a smartphone"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>WEC Energy</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wec-stock-quote/"><strong>WEC</strong></a></span>) provides electricity and natural gas to customers in the Midwest. While a recession could impact energy demand and prices, I believe WEC stock should remain relatively resilient. </p>



<p>As a regulated utility, WEC has the ability to adjust rates to maintain stable financials, even during economic downturns. This is why the stock didn&rsquo;t crater during the Great Recession, Instead, it declined gently. And although WEC shares have dipped slightly since mid-2022, I see limited downside risk going forward, recession or not.</p>



<p>In Q2 FY24, WEC <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/research/WEC/earnings-calendar">reported earnings of 67 cents per share</a> and reaffirmed its full-year guidance of $4.80-$4.90 EPS. The company is executing its largest-ever five-year <a href="https://www.stocktitan.net/news/WEC/wec-energy-group-s-corporate-responsibility-report-highlights-pndl9qsizi6t.html">$23.7 billion capital plan</a>. Analysts seem cautiously optimistic, with a consensus <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/wec/forecast">moderate buy</a> rating. J.P. Morgan&rsquo;s Jeremy Tonet <a href="https://www.wallstreetzen.com/analysts/jeremy-tonet">maintains a &ldquo;strong ell&rdquo; rating</a>, though, with an $84 target. That&rsquo;s really not much downside.</p>



<p>While not flashy, I view WEC as a defensive stalwart that should keep churning out reliable results.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-91.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/chart-91.png" alt="WEC dividends"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>With a 3.7% dividend yield, low-risk projects supporting 6-7% long-term earnings growth and a recession-resistant business model, WEC could be a port in the storm for 2024.</p>
