Kirby McInerney LLP reminds Badger Meter investors of the August 3, 2026 deadline to seek lead plaintiff status in a pending federal securities class action. The lawsuit, covering purchases from April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026, alleges the company pulled forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, concealing weakening demand and depleting future revenue. Badger Meter's share price fell roughly 17% on July 22, 2025 after disappointing second-quarter results, another 11% on January 28, 2026 following fourth-quarter 2025 results, and approximately 24% on April 17, 2026 after first-quarter 2026 results showed a 9% total sales decline and diluted EPS of $0.93, down from $1.30 a year earlier. The firm states that courts regularly appoint individual investors as lead plaintiffs, not only institutions, and that the lead plaintiff may influence litigation strategy and settlement.
