July 1, 2009 10:01 AM EDT

Brean Murray initiates coverage on American Water Works (NYSE: AWK) with a Buy rating and $28 target price.

Brean analyst says, "American Water Works is the largest investor-owned drinking water and wastewater utility in the United States, as measured by both operating revenue and population served. The company completed its IPO in the spring of 2008, returning to the NYSE after having been owned by German parent RWE AG since 2003. New and expected rate-case filings, coupled with increased capex and acquisitions should lead to significant growth in coming years. We recommend investors seeking both income and capital appreciation begin building positions at current levels."
