Lawsuit Alleges Badger Meter Misstated Growth, Pulled Forward Revenue; Shares Down $95+
BMI sits 33% above its 52-week low of $112.09.
Summary
A securities lawsuit now alleges Badger Meter misstated growth drivers and pulled forward revenue from April 2024 to April 2026, adding specific claims to the earlier investigation announced in May. The stock has shed over $95 per share across three drops since July 2025, including a 24% intraday plunge after weak Q1 2026 demand. This follows the Bleichmar Fonti & Auld investigation and the company's Q1 earnings decline, where EPS fell 28%. The lawsuit's detailed allegations of revenue manipulation raise the stakes beyond a routine investigation, potentially expanding legal exposure. Watch for any company response or formal complaint filing that could escalate the matter.
