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.</li></ul>  <ul type="circle"><li style="text-align:justify;">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.</li></ul>  <ul type="circle"><li style="text-align:justify;">The truth was revealed to investors over the course of a series of disappointing quarterly financial reports between July 2025 and April 2026.

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.<br></br><br></br></li></ul>  <p align="justify"><strong>What are my Next Steps?</strong></p>  <ul type="circle"><li style="text-align:justify;">If you purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact <a href="https://www.bespc.com/professionals/brandon-walker" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brandon Walker</a> or <a href="https://www.bespc.com/professionals/melissa-fortunato" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Melissa Fortunato</a> by email at <a href="mailto:investigations@bespc.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">investigations@bespc.com</a>, telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by <a href="https://bespc.com/cases/FIXX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">filling out this contact form</a>.
