What is the price target of Badger Meter Inc (BMI)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $147.00, about 26.0% above the current $116.67. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the intrinsic value of Badger Meter Inc (BMI)?

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $117.27, a -33.8% margin of safety versus today's $116.67. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
