The complaint, filed by the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, targets a two-year period between April 18, 2024, and April 16, 2026. According to the filing, Badger Meter allegedly obscured weakening order trends by recognizing revenue from future periods prematurely. This practice reportedly depleted upcoming revenue streams, eventually leading to the disappointing financial disclosures that triggered the legal action.

Plaintiffs argue that the company’s public statements regarding its operational health were materially misleading, lacking a factual basis during the specified timeframe.
