Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Badger Meter\u2019s financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to the Company\u2019s practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends; (2) this practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported; and (3) as a result, Defendants\u2019 positive statements about the Company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and\/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.<\/p><p>\nIf you purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than <b>August 3, 2026 <\/b>to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.<\/p><p>\n<b>Contact Us To Participate or Learn More:<\/b><\/p><p>\nIf you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact us:<\/p><p>\nLaw Offices of Howard G.
