American States Water (AWR) has extended its dividend growth streak to 72 consecutive years with an 8.2% increase, making it one of fewer than 60 companies with 50+ years of annual dividend increases. The regulated water and electric utility operates in California and manages military base facilities, generating stable cash flows. With a 2.5% yield, 8.7% compound annual dividend growth over the past decade, and a target of 7%+ future growth, the company remains an underrecognized dividend growth stock.
