On November 7, Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE:BMI) announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share, payable on December 5, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 21, 2025.
The Board also approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $75 million of the company’s outstanding common stock through November 30, 2028. This new program replaces the existing authorization approved in February 2023, which was set to expire in February 2026. Under the prior authorization, the company bought 82,448 shares of its common stock for a total of approximately $15 million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Kenneth C. Bockhorst, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement:
“Our strong balance sheet, history of free cash flow generation and durable business model position us well to capitalize on the secular trends that will drive growth in our industry. Disciplined adherence to our capital allocation framework has served both the company and shareholders well over time. Returning capital to shareholders via dividend growth has been a consistent component of total shareholder return for 33 consecutive years. The expansion of our share repurchase authorization gives us added flexibility to continue opportunistic buyback activity when our shares appear undervalued by the market, further enhancing our ability to deliver long-term shareholder value.”
