BMI Deadline Alert: Levi & Korsinsky Reminds Badger Meter, Inc. (BMI) Investors of Securities Class Action Deadline on August 3, 2026

Badger Meter Shares Lost Over $95 Per Share in Market Value Across Three Corrective Disclosures as Allegedly Concealed Order Pull-Forward Practices Unraveled Between July 2025 and April 2026

NEW YORK, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) of a pending securities class action. Class Period: April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] | (212) 363-7500.

BMI shares declined from $245.22 on July 21, 2025 before the first disclosure to $115.54 on April 17, 2026 after the last, a cumulative loss of over $95 across three corrective events. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 3, 2026.

Three Successive Market Corrections Quantify the Alleged Harm

The market repriced BMI common stock across three distinct corrective events, each stripping away a layer of the artificial inflation that the complaint contends was sustained by misrepresentations about demand durability and order trends:

• July 22, 2025: BMI fell $40.42 per share (16.5%) after 2Q 2025 results revealed EPS below consensus and management warned that absolute sales would decline sequentially in 3Q 2025
• January 28, 2026: BMI fell $18.09 per share (11%) after 4Q 2025 results disclosed a 6% sequential decline in utility water sales that missed revenue expectations
• April 17, 2026: BMI fell $36.75 per share (24%+) after 1Q 2026 results showed total sales 9% lower year-over-year, utility water sales down 10%, and operating margins contracting from 22.2% to 17.4%
• Each decline occurred on unusually heavy trading volume, indicating the market was absorbing genuinely new information that had been previously withheld
• The combined per-share decline across all three events exceeded $95

Why the Market Reacted With Increasing Severity

The escalating magnitude of each stock decline reflects a pattern the lawsuit characterizes as incremental unraveling. The first disclosure partially removed artificial inflation by revealing project timing problems. The second disclosure removed additional inflation by showing the weakness was spreading beyond AMI projects into broader utility water sales. The third and largest disclosure removed the remaining inflation when the Company acknowledged that "softer short-cycle municipal customer ordering" was responsible and that demand variability "has always existed" but had been masked by backlog conditions.

The complaint contends this progression demonstrates that each earlier assurance of "robust demand" and "favorable industry fundamentals" sustained the stock at artificially elevated levels.
