Stock recommendation inquiry: what do you think about AWK ?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
American Water Works Co Inc: (NYSE: AWK)

I see some solid performance in the past and also highly rated expert opinion about this stock.

What do you think ?

It's not a horrible stock, however I personally would not put my money in this company.

At 22.75 Trailing, it's P/E is a bit higher than the market average. It's P/B is decent at 1.8 however most of their assets are in PPE and receivables. They actually have an alarmingly low amount of cash, and have had to borrow a relatively substantial amount in 2013.

It's not to say the stock won't go higher, however in my opinion it is a tad overvalued.
