However, analysts anticipate that the impact will be neutral by 2026. Stifel analysts have responded to this development by increasing the price target for Badger Meter to $209, while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock.

The acquisition is projected to boost the company’s growth trajectory and profitability in the coming years.
