Badger Meter (NYSE: BMI), a leading industrial technology stock, specializes in manufacturing advanced flow measurement solutions for gas and water. The company is scheduled to release its Q1 earnings report on April 17, 2026, before the market opens. This upcoming financial performance update will offer investors a clear picture of the company's recent financial health and its outlook for the future.
Wall Street analysts, providing their investment analysis, have set their expectations for the upcoming report. They estimate an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.20. EPS is a company's profit divided by its outstanding shares. Additionally, revenue is projected to reach approximately $229.60 million. As highlighted by Zacks Investment Research, this points to higher revenues but a potential year-over-year decline in earnings.
As highlighted by Seeking Alpha, Badger Meter is considered a quality dividend growth stock that has recently underperformed due to market headwinds. On April 13, 2026, its shares increased by 3.7% to $161.00. Despite this gain, the stock is seen as modestly undervalued, as its price is nearly 28% below its GF Value estimate of $222.86, indicating potential for stock valuation upside.
Badger Meter demonstrates strong financial health with a debt-free balance sheet and a robust current ratio of 3.36. The current ratio is a key measure of a company's ability to pay its short-term debts. A ratio above one is generally positive, and Badger Meter's figure indicates it has more than three times the assets needed to cover its immediate liabilities, showcasing strong liquidity.
Badger Meter has a trailing Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 32.52. Its Price-to-Sales ratio is 4.99, which means investors are paying nearly $5 for every dollar of the company's sales. Recent insider activity has been positive, with insiders purchasing $1.30 million worth of shares, suggesting strong confidence in the company's strategic direction and future prospects.
