Segment Details
Retail revenues for second-quarter 2021 decreased 4.9% year over year to $5.7 million. This reflects a 12% decrease in the volume of water sold by Cayman Water due to the closing of Grand Cayman Island to tourists in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bulk revenues came in at $6.7 million for second-quarter 2021, up 14.1% from the prior-year figure. The increase in revenues was due to a 7% increase in the volume of water sold by CW-Bahamas.
Manufacturing revenues amounted to $0.55 million for the second quarter, down 85.4% year over year. The year-over year decline was due to a decrease in orders from Aerex’s former largest customer.
Services revenues were $3.76 million for the second quarter, up 8.3% year over year. The year-over-year improvement was due to contribution from new operating and maintenance contracts.
Other Details
General and administrative expenses for the quarter increased 3.5% from the year-ago level to $4.72 million.
Interest income for the reported quarter was $0.17 million, up 59% from the year-ago quarter.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?

VGM Scores
Currently, Consolidated Water has a subpar Growth Score of D, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Consolidated Water has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.
