AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Badger Meter (BMI)

Badger Meter Q2 sales fall 7% to $222.3 million; diluted EPS $1.02 vs. $1.17

Negative Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Badger Meter reported second-quarter 2026 results with total sales of $222.3 million, down 7% from $238.1 million a year earlier, and diluted EPS of $1.02 versus $1.17. Sales rose 10% from the first quarter, and management expects full-year revenue excluding acquisitions to be flattish versus 2025, so the year-over-year decline in profit matters to shareholders.

  • Operating earnings fell 12% to $39.4 million; operating margin was 17.7% versus 18.8% a year earlier.
