NEW YORK, July 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

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. 

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.

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.

Inflation remains uncomfortably elevated, and that's a drag on an array of consumer discretionary stocks, including Wingstop (WING +0.25%).

Ahead of its July 29 earnings report, shares of the fast-casual wing chain are off 43.5% year to date (as of July 23) and would need to more than triple to reclaim the record high. Analysts expect the Texas-based eatery to post earnings per share (EPS) of $1.02 on sales of $190.2 million. Given the stock's weak state, if those estimates are missed or the company offers guidance that's not to investors' satisfaction, more declines could be in store.

A lot has to go right for Wingstop to rebound. Image source: Getty Images.

This fast-food stock has no margin for error, and a lot needs to go right against a challenging consumer backdrop. That's not lost on Wall Street. On July 23, DA Davidson cut its price target on Wingstop to $200 from $230 while keeping a buy rating.

The new target implies upside of about 48% from the stock's close on that day, but there's some bad news. The research firm pared its second-quarter same-store sales forecast to a decline of 6% from a drop of 4%, citing stress on Wingstop's core lower-income and younger customer base.

For risk-tolerant investors, there may be something to see here. Looking ahead, Wingstop is expanding rapidly, adding new locations across the U.S. Additionally, the stock has some support on Wall Street. Piper Sandler says the stock's now lengthy decline has created a potentially favorable risk/reward scenario. At the same time, Guggenheim believes the shares can nearly double if the company returns to steady same-store sales growth.

Investors willing to take a flier on earnings may want to evaluate Wingstop's commentary around its Smart Kitchens and its Club Wingstop loyalty program. Strength in those areas could contribute to a rebound down the road.
