NEW YORK, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
What’s Happening:
- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Badger Meter, Inc. (“Badger Meter” or the “Company”) (NYSE:BMI) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter common stock between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until August 3, 2026 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Allegation Details:
- According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants told investors that Badger Meter’s strong financial results reflected “ongoing favorable industry trends,” “secular growth drivers,” and “solid operating execution.” They likewise touted “strong” demand and said they were seeing “robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth,” and that Badger Meter possessed a “long runway” for growth.
- In truth, rather than reflecting durable, demand-driven growth, Badger Meter’s financial results were driven by the Company’s practice of pulling forward customer orders, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends.
- The truth was revealed to investors over the course of a series of disappointing quarterly financial reports between July 2025 and April 2026. In the last disclosure on April 17, 2026, Badger Meter reported disappointing 1Q 2026 financial results including that total sales were “9% lower than the prior year[],” “[u]tility water sales declined 10% year-over-year,” “[o]perating earnings of $35.2 million, with an operating margin of 17.4%, compared to operating earnings of $49.4 million and an operating margin of 22.2% in the prior year,” and “[d]iluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.93, down from $1.30 in the first quarter of 2025.” On this news, the price of Badger Meter stock fell $36.75 per share, more than 24%, from $152.29 per share on April 16, 2026, to $115.54 per share on April 17, 2026.
