Bockhorst Kenneth

Badger Meter CEO Kenneth Bockhorst buys 2,200 shares at $117.53; stock down -29.0% in 90 days; cluster pattern detected.

Kenneth Bockhorst, Chairman, President & CEO of Badger Meter, purchased 2,200 shares at $117.53 on 2026-04-21, increasing holdings from 49,476 to 51,676 shares. The transaction occurs in a sharply deteriorating price environment: the stock has declined -29.0% over 90 days and currently trades at $120.89, down -52.4% from its 52-week high of $254.17. His prior same-ticker history shows three sales in early March 2025, all of which were followed by 90-day gains (+17.0% to +21.2%), indicating poorly timed exits that missed subsequent recoveries. The current buy follows a February 2026 purchase that itself showed a -5.3% 30-day return, suggesting a pattern of buying into weakness. This transaction is part of a broader cluster: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, which may indicate organizational-level confidence despite the recent price deterioration, though the cross-ticker timing accuracy of prior open-market activity (0.00% well-timed rate on sells) does not establish predictive value for this position.

CEO Kenneth Bockhorst buys 3,300 BMI shares at $152.42 (+9.0% of holdings); stock down 38.3% from 52-week high

Bockhorst purchased 3,300 shares (3.3K shares) at $152.42, increasing his holdings to 40,013 shares (40.0K shares). The transaction occurs with BMI trading at $156.92, positioned 38.3% below its 52-week high of $254.17 and down 8.6% over the prior 30 days. His prior transactions at BMI—three sales in early March 2025—yielded positive 90-day returns (+21.2%, +20.2%, +17.0%), meaning the stock rose after each sale. His cross-ticker sell history shows 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, indicating prior sales generally missed subsequent gains. This buy occurs in a downward price environment following a pattern of prior exits that did not capture subsequent rallies, yet the company posts strong fundamentals: $222.2M quarterly revenue, $35.1M net income, +17.5% annual revenue growth, and a 33.32 P/E ratio supporting a $4.6B market cap.

BMI CEO Kenneth Bockhorst sold 16,073 shares ($3.4M) on 2025-03-05; third consecutive daily sale totaling position reduction

Kenneth Bockhorst, Chairman, President & CEO of Badger Meter, sold 16,073 shares at $209.74 on 2025-03-05, reducing his holdings from 51,034 to 34,961 shares (-31.5% net change). This sale is the third in a sequence of consecutive daily transactions (prior sells on 2025-03-04 and 2025-03-03), suggesting a coordinated liquidation rather than an isolated trade. The cumulative reduction of roughly one-third of his position over three days, totaling $3.4M, merits investor attention given the CEO's status and the substantial concentration of shares being divested. Current BMI stock price of $212.07 sits 10.8% below the 52-week high of $237.67, and the timing of these sales immediately after the stock declined 4.3% in the prior month indicates the insider executed these dispositions into a weakening price environment.

Bockhorst sells 2,751 shares at avg. $210.61 for $579,398.45; retains 51,034 shares post-sale

This sale represents a 5.1% reduction of his pre-transaction holdings. The stock is currently -11.6% from its 52-week high of $237.67 and down 6.2% over the past 90 days, trading in a range where the insider's recent execution was clustered. Bockhorst retains substantial ownership at 51,034 shares, indicating continued material stake in the company despite the reduction. His cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior sell transaction, limiting inference about his typical trade patterns at this ticker.
