Badger Meter's stock experienced a significant intraday plummet of 12.26% on Wednesday, reflecting a sharp negative reaction from investors following the release of its quarterly financial results.
The decline was triggered by the company's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings report, which fell short of analyst expectations on both key metrics. Badger Meter reported earnings per share of $1.14, missing the consensus estimate of $1.16. Additionally, quarterly revenue of $220.706 million came in below the anticipated $232.037 million, despite representing an 8% year-over-year increase.
While the company expressed confidence in its long-term outlook, expecting high single-digit sales growth over a five-year horizon, the immediate market reaction focused on the quarterly miss compared to Wall Street expectations, driving the substantial sell-off during the trading session.
