How asset managers voted at the American Water Works Company, Inc. 2025-2026 meetings

Each item below shows how the 993 asset managers that disclosed a American Water Works Company, Inc. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of American Water Works Company, Inc.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

About this page

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from American Water Works Company, Inc.’s 10-Q dated April 20, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At American Water Works Company, Inc.'s 2 shareholder meetings in the 2025-2026 proxy season (held February 10, 2026 and May 13, 2026), 993 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 13,648 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 21 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot.
