New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Badger Meter, Inc. ("Badger Meter" or the "Company") (NYSE: BMI) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter securities between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026 (the "Class Period").

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than August 3, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

On April 17, 2026, Badger Meter reported first quarter 2026 results, including a deceleration of sales. Specifically, total sales of $202.3 million for the quarter were "9% lower than the prior year's $222.2 million." Additionally, the Company stated with respect to its first quarter operating results that "Utility water sales declined 10% year-over-year, reflecting project timing and other softer short-cycle municipal ordering . . . ."

Following this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by $36.75 per share, or more than 24%, to close at $115.54 per share on April 17, 2026.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for the Company's products, and its prospects for continued growth. During the Class Period, Defendants allegedly told investors that Badger Meter's strong financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution." They also allegedly 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.

According to the complaint, in truth, "Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to the Company's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported."

Badger Meter (NYSE:BMI) reported lower second-quarter 2026 sales and earnings from the prior year, but management said revenue improved sequentially as previously awarded advanced metering infrastructure projects began shipping and reaffirmed its expectation for improving quarterly revenue through the rest of the year.

Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Dan Weltzin said total sales for the quarter were $222.3 million, down 7% year-over-year. Excluding about $2 million in sales from UDlive, which Badger Meter acquired on May 1, base sales declined 7.5% from the prior-year period. However, base sales rose 9% from the first quarter, which management said reflected initial shipment ramps on several awarded projects.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Bockhorst said the results were in line with expectations. “As expected, we delivered sequentially improved sales in the second quarter as a number of our previously awarded AMI projects began initial ramping of shipments,” he said. He added that the company saw “a modest increase” in short-term order rates and in flow instrumentation.

Utility Water Sales Decline, Flow Instrumentation Grows Weltzin said utility water sales declined 8% year-over-year, or 9% excluding the acquisition, due to the project pacing dynamics the company has been discussing. Lower AMI-related product revenue was partially offset by higher software and growth in what the company calls beyond-the-meter offerings. On an organic basis, utility sales increased 8% sequentially.

Flow instrumentation sales rose 6% from a year earlier, supported by broad-based water application demand. In the question-and-answer session, Bockhorst said the company benefited from orders tied to data center applications, including clamp-on meters and magnetic meters used for cooling towers and flow monitoring. However, he cautioned that the business should still be viewed as having “GDP-like” growth over the company’s five-year strategic horizon.

The company also confirmed that product shipments for the PRASA project have begun. Bockhorst said several other awarded projects have also started, and that the overall cohort of nine previously discussed awarded projects “feels like it’s pretty solid at this point.” Management declined to provide individual project-level details.

Margins Hold Within Range Despite Lower Volumes Operating earnings declined 12% year-over-year, and operating margin fell 110 basis points to 17.7%. Excluding UDlive, base operating margin was 18.4%, down 40 basis points from the year-ago quarter.

Gross margin was 40.8%, down 30 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Weltzin attributed the decline primarily to lower sales volumes and project mix, but said gross margins remained in the upper half of the company’s normalized range, reflecting “the resiliency of our overall structural mix and pricing discipline.”

Selling, engineering and administrative expenses totaled $51.4 million, down $1.6 million from the prior year. Weltzin said spending controls, lower incentive compensation and cost containment actions more than offset about $3 million of year-over-year spending tied to UDlive and transaction-related costs. The company expects UDlive intangible asset amortization of approximately $5 million annually.

Diluted earnings per share were $1.02, down from $1.17 a year earlier. The effective tax rate was 25.2%, compared with 24.5% in the prior-year quarter.

Cash Flow Lower; Buybacks Continue Free cash flow was $21.9 million, down from $40.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Weltzin cited lower earnings and temporary increases in working capital. Primary working capital as a percentage of sales rose to 22.9% from 20.0% at the end of the prior quarter.

Weltzin said the increase in receivables was related to revenue timing, while inventory levels were above average due to revenue pacing dynamics. He said the company expects to work down inventory through the fiscal year and remains focused on full-year cash flow conversion in excess of 100% of net earnings.

During the quarter, Badger Meter repurchased 204,000 shares for $25.3 million. Weltzin said the company has about $90 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization and has deployed roughly $80 million in buybacks over the past three quarters. The company also renewed a five-year, $150 million credit facility, which remains undrawn.

Management Reaffirms Full-Year Organic Revenue Outlook Management reaffirmed its outlook for sequential improvement in base quarterly revenue for the balance of 2026. Excluding UDlive, Badger Meter continues to expect full-year organic revenue to be “flat-ish” with 2025 levels.

Bockhorst emphasized that the outlook should not be interpreted as perfectly flat, citing variability in project ramping and short-term order patterns. He said year-over-year base sales growth is expected to be heavily weighted toward the fourth quarter because it represents the company’s easiest comparison.

On short-cycle demand, Bockhorst said the first quarter was an outlier and that second-quarter order rates were “more normal-ish” and typical of the operating environment. He said a higher daily turn rate of orders in the second quarter, combined with project activity, supports the company’s full-year stance.

Management also discussed electronic component cost and availability pressures driven by demand from artificial intelligence and data center build-outs. Weltzin said the company has been able to mitigate the impacts to date, but the pressures are not easing. Bockhorst said Badger Meter has managed similar supply chain challenges before and remains positioned to work through them.

Customer Interest Remains Focused on AMI and Software Bob Wrocklage, Executive Vice President of North America Municipal Utility, said feedback from the AWWA ACE 2026 trade show in Washington, D.C., remained constructive. He said utilities continue to prioritize modernization, efficiency and visibility across water and wastewater networks.

Wrocklage said discussions with consultants and customers focused on both hardware and software components of the company’s Network as a Service offerings, including network resiliency, dynamic multi-carrier SIM technology and the ORION Lens endpoint solution for metal pit lids. He also cited interest in EyeOnWater Premium, the BEACON Field app and Badger Meter’s embedded AI functionality, Cobalt.

Management said the company is continuing to educate utilities on stormwater and sewer line applications through SmartCover and UDlive. Bockhorst said the company’s confidence in the long-term outlook remains intact, supported by replacement demand, AMI adoption, recurring software, beyond-the-meter technologies and acquisitions.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 3, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Badger Meter common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Badger Meter class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/badger-meter-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for Badger Meter's products, and its prospects for continued growth. 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.

According to the lawsuit, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to Badger Meter's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results Badger Meter later reported. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The company also confirmed that product shipments for the PRASA project have begun. Bockhorst said several other awarded projects have also started, and that the overall cohort of nine previously discussed awarded projects “feels like it’s pretty solid at this point.” Management declined to provide individual project-level details.

Margins Hold Within Range Despite Lower Volumes Operating earnings declined 12% year-over-year, and operating margin fell 110 basis points to 17.7%. Excluding UDlive, base operating margin was 18.4%, down 40 basis points from the year-ago quarter.

Gross margin was 40.8%, down 30 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. Weltzin attributed the decline primarily to lower sales volumes and project mix, but said gross margins remained in the upper half of the company’s normalized range, reflecting “the resiliency of our overall structural mix and pricing discipline.”

Selling, engineering and administrative expenses totaled $51.4 million, down $1.6 million from the prior year. Weltzin said spending controls, lower incentive compensation and cost containment actions more than offset about $3 million of year-over-year spending tied to UDlive and transaction-related costs. The company expects UDlive intangible asset amortization of approximately $5 million annually.

Diluted earnings per share were $1.02, down from $1.17 a year earlier. The effective tax rate was 25.2%, compared with 24.5% in the prior-year quarter.

Cash Flow Lower; Buybacks Continue Free cash flow was $21.9 million, down from $40.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Weltzin cited lower earnings and temporary increases in working capital. Primary working capital as a percentage of sales rose to 22.9% from 20.0% at the end of the prior quarter.

Weltzin said the increase in receivables was related to revenue timing, while inventory levels were above average due to revenue pacing dynamics. He said the company expects to work down inventory through the fiscal year and remains focused on full-year cash flow conversion in excess of 100% of net earnings.

During the quarter, Badger Meter repurchased 204,000 shares for $25.3 million. Weltzin said the company has about $90 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization and has deployed roughly $80 million in buybacks over the past three quarters. The company also renewed a five-year, $150 million credit facility, which remains undrawn.

Management Reaffirms Full-Year Organic Revenue Outlook Management reaffirmed its outlook for sequential improvement in base quarterly revenue for the balance of 2026. Excluding UDlive, Badger Meter continues to expect full-year organic revenue to be “flat-ish” with 2025 levels.

Bockhorst emphasized that the outlook should not be interpreted as perfectly flat, citing variability in project ramping and short-term order patterns. He said year-over-year base sales growth is expected to be heavily weighted toward the fourth quarter because it represents the company’s easiest comparison.

On short-cycle demand, Bockhorst said the first quarter was an outlier and that second-quarter order rates were “more normal-ish” and typical of the operating environment. He said a higher daily turn rate of orders in the second quarter, combined with project activity, supports the company’s full-year stance.

Management also discussed electronic component cost and availability pressures driven by demand from artificial intelligence and data center build-outs. Weltzin said the company has been able to mitigate the impacts to date, but the pressures are not easing. Bockhorst said Badger Meter has managed similar supply chain challenges before and remains positioned to work through them.

Customer Interest Remains Focused on AMI and Software Bob Wrocklage, Executive Vice President of North America Municipal Utility, said feedback from the AWWA ACE 2026 trade show in Washington, D.C., remained constructive. He said utilities continue to prioritize modernization, efficiency and visibility across water and wastewater networks.

Wrocklage said discussions with consultants and customers focused on both hardware and software components of the company’s Network as a Service offerings, including network resiliency, dynamic multi-carrier SIM technology and the ORION Lens endpoint solution for metal pit lids. He also cited interest in EyeOnWater Premium, the BEACON Field app and Badger Meter’s embedded AI functionality, Cobalt.

Management said the company is continuing to educate utilities on stormwater and sewer line applications through SmartCover and UDlive. Bockhorst said the company’s confidence in the long-term outlook remains intact, supported by replacement demand, AMI adoption, recurring software, beyond-the-meter technologies and acquisitions.

Badger Meter's SEC Filings Warned of Generic Risks but Allegedly Failed to Disclose That "Short-Cycle" Demand Variability Was Already Eroding Revenue — Investors Lost Over $95 Per Share Across Three Corrective Disclosures

, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP examines the adequacy of Badger Meter, Inc.'s (NYSE: BMI) risk disclosures during the period from April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026. A securities class action has been filed alleging BMI shareholders were harmed by disclosures that omitted specific, known risks. Find out if you qualify to recover losses from inadequate disclosures. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or ☎(212) 363-7500.

BMI shares fell more than 24%, or $36.75 per share, on April 17, 2026, after the company acknowledged that "softer short-cycle municipal customer ordering" caused $15 million to $20 million in revenue shortfalls versus internal expectations. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 3, 2026.

What the Company Disclosed in SEC Filings

Throughout the Class Period, Badger Meter's SEC filings contained standard forward-looking statement disclaimers and boilerplate risk factor language. The company's safe harbor warnings accompanied earnings releases and conference call commentary in which executives described "ongoing favorable industry fundamentals," "secular growth drivers," and a "robust demand environment." These filings did not identify any specific, contemporaneous deterioration in short-cycle municipal ordering patterns or the revenue-depleting effects of order pull-forward practices, the complaint challenges.

What the Complaint Alleges Was Missing

The securities action contends that Badger Meter's disclosures omitted material information that was allegedly known internally:

Short-cycle demand variability "always existed" during 2023-2025 but was never disclosed as a specific risk to reported revenue trends Order pull-forward practices were allegedly inflating current-period results while depleting future revenue The company's backlog was masking weakening near-term order rates rather than reflecting durable demand Management's "high single-digit" growth guidance allegedly ignored internal data showing order deterioration Generic "project pacing" explanations in July 2025 and January 2026 allegedly substituted for specific disclosure of systemic demand weakness Why Generic Warnings May Not Protect

The complaint specifically alleges that Defendants' safe harbor warnings were "ineffective to shield those statements from liability" because, at the time each forward-looking statement was made, the speaker knew the statement was false or misleading. As pleaded in the action, when an executive admitted in April 2026 that short-cycle variability "has always existed, inclusive of [the] 2023 to 2025 time frame" but was "less visible" due to backlog conditions, that admission undercut years of public assurances that demand was "as solid as it's ever been."

The distinction matters: a company that discloses a generic risk that demand "may fluctuate" provides fundamentally different information than a company that specifically identifies an ongoing pattern already affecting reported financials. The complaint charges that Badger Meter's filings fell into the former category while internal reality demanded the latter.

"Generic risk factor language cannot substitute for disclosing specific, known problems that are already affecting a company's operations. When variability is described as something that 'always existed,' the question becomes why it was never specifically disclosed to shareholders who were making investment decisions based on reported growth rates." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the BMI Lawsuit

Q: What specific misstatements does the BMI lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges Badger Meter made materially false or misleading statements regarding the drivers of its record financial results, demand durability, and growth outlook while failing to disclose that order pull-forward practices were concealing weakening short-cycle demand. When the true state was revealed through three corrective disclosures, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: When did Badger Meter allegedly mislead investors? A: The class period runs from April 18, 2024 to April 16, 2026. The alleged fraud was revealed through corrective disclosures on July 22, 2025, January 28, 2026, and April 17, 2026, each causing significant stock declines.

Q: What if I already sold my BMI shares — can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. You submit a claim form to receive your portion of recovery.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2026) - National plaintiffs' law firm Berger Montague PC announces a class action lawsuit against Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) ("Badger Meter" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Badger Meter common stock during the period from April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026 (the "Class Period").

Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased or acquired Badger Meter common stock during the Class Period may, no later than August 3, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE.

The Company, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, develops and sells water measurement and management solutions for utilities, municipalities, and industrial users worldwide.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants painted an overly optimistic picture of Badger Meter's business, attributing record results to durable secular growth drivers and strong execution while concealing that the Company had been pulling forward customer orders to accelerate revenue recognition. That practice masked weakening underlying demand and borrowed from revenue otherwise available in future quarters, setting the stage for a series of disappointing results.

According to the suit, the true state of the business began to emerge in July 2025. Second-quarter results missed analyst estimates, revenue growth decelerated, and margins deteriorated. Management guided a sequential sales decline in the third quarter of 2025 while characterizing the shortfall as routine and reaffirming the strength of the demand pipeline. The stock fell $40.42 per share — 16.5% — to close at $204.80 per share on July 22, 2025.

Fourth-quarter 2025 results, reported January 28, 2026, continued the pattern, as the complaint alleges: revenues missed expectations and utility water sales declined 6% sequentially. Management again pointed to project pacing. Shares dropped $18.09 per share, or approximately 11%, to $146.32 per share.

The full scope of the damage allegedly became apparent on April 17, 2026, when, in connection with first-quarter 2026 results, management acknowledged for the first time that softer short-cycle municipal demand had contributed to the results — and conceded that this demand variability had been present throughout the Class Period. Shares fell $36.75, or more than 24%, closing at $115.54 per share on April 17, 2026.

Badger Meter (BMI - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.02 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.01 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.17 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +0.99%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this manufacturer of products that measure gas and water flow would post earnings of $1.2 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.93, delivering a surprise of -22.5%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Badger Meter, which belongs to the Zacks Instruments - Control industry, posted revenues of $222.32 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.90%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $238.1 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Badger Meter shares have lost about 16.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Badger Meter?While Badger Meter has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Badger Meter was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.25 on $244.76 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.51 on $911.84 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Instruments - Control is currently in the top 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Sensata (ST - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 29.

This maker of sensing, electrical protection, control and power management products is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.93 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +6.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Sensata's revenues are expected to be $964 million, up 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

What is the Badger Meter securities fraud lawsuit about?

The Badger Meter securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors by touting "strong" demand, a "robust" order pipeline, and a "long runway" for growth while concealing that the Company's financial results were not sustainable. As the truth emerged through a series of disclosures — including disappointing Q2 2025 results and a sequential sales decline forecast on July 22, 2025, missed revenue expectations and a 6% sequential decline in utility water sales on January 28, 2026, and Q1 2026 earnings that missed consensus estimates by $0.26 per share with revenue missing by $28.58 million on April 17, 2026 — BMI's stock price dropped sharply, causing significant losses for investors.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP highlights the contrast between Badger Meter, Inc.'s (NYSE: BMI) promises to shareholders and the results that ultimately materialized. Find out if you can recover your Badger Meter investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

BMI shares collapsed more than 24%, losing $36.75 per share on April 17, 2026, after the company disclosed total sales fell 9% year-over-year and utility water revenue dropped 10%. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 3, 2026.

The Promise

Throughout 2024 and into early 2025, Badger Meter's leadership painted a picture of durable, accelerating growth for investors. The company projected "high single-digit average top line growth" supported by what it described as "ongoing favorable industry fundamentals" and "secular growth drivers." Management characterized demand as "robust" and told the market its order book and opportunity pipeline "continue to support" the growth outlook. On the 1Q 2025 earnings call, the company went further, directly rejecting the possibility that customers were pulling orders forward, asserting that 75% of revenue went to end users who "really, in many ways, cannot pull forward."

The Reality

The company's actual trajectory told a different story:

Promised: "High single-digit average top line growth" sustained by secular demandDelivered: Total sales declined 9% year-over-year in 1Q 2026Promised: Utility water revenue driven by "robust adoption rates" and "solid demand"Delivered: Utility water sales fell 10% year-over-year in 1Q 2026Promised: Operating margins expanding on "strong operating execution"Delivered: Operating margin contracted from 22.2% to 17.4% in one yearPromised: EPS growth trajectory; 1Q 2025 delivered $1.30 diluted EPSDelivered: Diluted EPS fell to $0.93 in 1Q 2026, a 28% declinePromised: No evidence of customer order pull-forward; "pretty normal order environment"Delivered: Management acknowledged $15 million to $20 million of revenue shortfall from "softer short-cycle municipal customer ordering" What the Lawsuit Contends About the Gap

The securities action alleges that Badger Meter's "record" results during the Class Period were not the product of genuine demand growth but were instead inflated by pulling forward customer orders, which depleted revenue from future periods. When backlog cushions thinned and short-cycle ordering weakened, the complaint asserts, the company could no longer mask the underlying deterioration. Management itself eventually conceded that the demand "variability" seen in 1Q 2026 "has always existed" during 2023-2025 but was "less visible" due to backlog levels and projects in flight.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The contrast between what Badger Meter communicated about its growth trajectory and what ultimately occurred raises serious questions for shareholders." — Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the BMI Lawsuit

Q: What specific misstatements does the BMI lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges Badger Meter made materially false or misleading statements regarding the sustainability of its revenue growth, the strength of customer demand, and the absence of order pull-forward practices during the class period from April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026. When the true state of demand was revealed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: How much did BMI stock drop? A: Shares fell more than 24%, a decline of $36.75 per share, on April 17, 2026, after the company disclosed that total sales were 9% lower year-over-year and that short-cycle order rates were "weaker than anticipated."

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. You submit a claim form to receive your portion of recovery.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 3, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Badger Meter class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/badger-meter-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for Badger Meter's products, and its prospects for continued growth. 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.

According to the lawsuit, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to Badger Meter's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results Badger Meter later reported. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
