Why Badger Meter Stock Is Plummeting 18% Lower This Week
Badger Meter's stock fell 18% this week after reporting mixed Q2 2026 earnings with 7% sales decline and 13% EPS drop, despite beating low expectations. The market was disappointed by flat 2026 sales guidance despite nine major utility projects scheduled for H2 2026 deployment. The analyst views the decline as a buying opportunity, citing the stock's shift from premium 42x FCF valuation to reasonable 24x FCF, and the company's strong long-term thesis in water infrastructure modernization.
BMIBadger MeterQ2 2026 earningsstock declinesmart water meteringsales guidancevaluationutility projects
Sentiment note
Despite the 18% weekly stock decline and negative earnings results, the analyst presents a bullish case viewing the selloff as a buying opportunity. The company's valuation has become more reasonable (24x FCF vs. historical 42x), it has a strong long-term investment thesis in water infrastructure modernization, maintains 21 consecutive years of dividend growth, and has nine major projects scheduled for H2 2026 that should drive future growth. The current weakness is attributed to temporary timing issues rather than fundamental deterioration.
