  "account": "Consolidated Water Company reported second-quarter 2026 earnings that topped Wall Street expectations, with revenue rising 2.49% from the previous year's $32.1 million to $32.9 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.25 matched forecasts. The company's stock surged 7.71% to $32.57 after hours, up $2.33 from the prior close of $30.24. Despite a 49% decline in manufacturing revenue due to fewer new purchase orders, growth in retail, bulk, and services segments helped offset the weakness. Retail revenue remained strong despite wetter weather in Grand Cayman, while bulk revenue increased due to higher energy pass-through charges and new desalination plants in Cat Island. Services revenue grew slightly. The company's balance sheet, with $132.6 million in cash, $144.6 million in working capital, and $225.6 million in stockholders' equity, provided a strong financial foundation. Management highlighted the positive outlook supported by several projects and market trends, including a Florida municipal water treatment project and new O&M contracts in Colorado, California, and Hawaii. The company's manufacturing revenue is expected to fall below 2025's record level in 2026, but recent orders indicate a stronger 2027 outlook.",
