## Resource

On this episode of Stock Spotlight, Michael shines the spotlight on Badger Meter ($BMI), the hidden powerhouse behind smart water management. Think of BMI’s meters as the cash registers of utilities: essential, sticky, and increasingly digital. With secular tailwinds in conservation, regulation, and infrastructure investment, the company sits at the intersection of necessity and innovation. Michael breaks down why Badger Meter scored a strong 81% on his Quality Checklist, how SaaS revenue and international expansion could fuel the next leg of growth, and where valuation leaves room — or risk. With a fair value range of ~$129–$216 and technical support in the $160s, BMI offers a compelling picks-and-shovels play on one of the world’s most vital resources. Hear why Michael has initiated a position and what would make him trim or sell. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:37 Investment Checklist & Database 01:17 Business Overview 11:51 Industry Overview 16:37 Quality Growth Profile 20:25 Financial Statement Overview 27:02 Management & Ownership Structure 32:16 KPIs to Track 33:12 Valuation & Technical Analysis 38:27 Verdict 40:35 Outro ---------------------------------------------------------------- Intro Music: Andrey Rossi – Seize the Day Outro Music: Ra – Prospect *Music provided by Uppbeat Premium Follow me on X: https://twitter.com/invest091 Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@stockspotlightpodcast ---------------------------------------------------------------- Disclosure: The host of Stock Spotlight is not a licensed financial advisor.
