Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following softer-than-expected April inflation readings. Additionally, investors continue to weigh US-China trade progress and President Trump's Middle East trip.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $201.62, after a 0.90% increase. Over the past month, Badger Meter Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMI#NYSE">BMI</a>) stock increased by 6.68%, and in the past year, by 14.03%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Badger Meter P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 47.54 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, Badger Meter Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 44.01. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Outlook
Bockhorst continued, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the resilience and durability of our replacement-driven business amidst a volatile macroeconomic environment. As previously communicated, we will face difficult prior-year comparisons in the upcoming second quarter of 2025. Nevertheless, the attractive fundamentals of the water industry, and our ability to add value to customers with an innovative and reliable portfolio of solutions, support our average high-single-digit long-term revenue growth outlook.
We delivered record gross margins in the first quarter, benefiting from a notably favorable combination of product and customer sales mix. While this clearly demonstrates that the structural mix benefit of technology adoption within our business is real, given the evolving tariff picture and related uncertainty, we believe it is prudent to maintain our normalized gross margin range of 38-40% at this time. At present, we are confident in our ability to manage certain tariff-related cost challenges. Our history of strong operational execution, particularly in the management of our supply chain, manufacturing footprint, and value-based pricing strategy, underscores our proven ability to control what we can control in a turbulent economic environment.
The addition of SmartCover earlier this year emphasizes the growing extensibility and appeal of our BlueEdge suite of products and services. Our customers continue to feel the impact of extreme weather events, which makes SmartCover's stormwater management offering a compelling part of our portfolio. Although still early in the integration, we're on track for delivering anticipated sales and cost synergies. Importantly, our solid balance sheet gives us the financial flexibility to fund the capital allocation priorities supporting our long-term strategy, including value-added, disciplined acquisitions.
Bockhorst concluded, "We were proud to be named for the third consecutive year to Barron's 2025 list of 100 Most Sustainable Companies. We carry a responsibility for protecting the world's most precious resource. This gives our employees a sense of purpose, which powers our innovation engine, delivers solutions to our end markets, and generates steady long-term shareholder value."
