Aguas Andinas (ISIN CL0000000035) was last at CLP 320 on October 6, 2026, leaving the stock 20 percent below its 52-week high of CLP 400. The latest first-half figures showed revenue growth of 7.6 percent and EBITDA growth of 7.5 percent, according to Yahoo Finance on August 21, 2026.

Revenue growth supports operations

The company attributed the first-half revenue increase to regulated water and sanitation services, rate adjustments and additional charges linked to investment projects. Non-regulated revenue increased 13.6 percent, while consumption was 0.3 percent higher than in the comparable period.

That mix matters for Aguas Andinas stock because regulated revenue provides the earnings base, while the non-regulated business supplied faster growth. EBITDA rose by 7.5 percent even as higher personnel, energy and chemical costs affected the cost structure.

Tax reform creates a counterweight

The same first-half presentation identified a potential earnings headwind from Chilean tax reform. Yahoo Finance reported that the first-year effect could reduce net profit by CLP 1.8 billion and revenue by CLP 6.5 billion under the model used by management.

The company also reported a 1 percent bad-debt ratio at the end of the first semester, matching its pre-pandemic level. This gives the operating improvement a measurable quality marker, although the tax effect could pressure future reported profit even if water demand remains stable.

Water infrastructure adds strategic value

A separate project links Aguas Andinas to Google funding for Chilean water resilience. According to Google on September 30, 2026, Google is contributing USD 1.2 million to line 2.5 kilometers of the Unidos de Buin Canal Association main canal.

The project is designed to save up to 7.4 million cubic meters of water annually. Aguas Andinas stock therefore combines regulated utility cash flows with infrastructure responsibilities tied to the long-term water security of the Santiago region.

Stock remains below yearly high

Aguas Andinas stock was last at CLP 320 on October 6, 2026, with a market capitalization of CLP 1.9 trillion and volume of 18,766,272 shares. Its 52-week range was CLP 310.11 to CLP 400, placing the price CLP 80 below the high.
