BMIBadger Meter, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: cheap against its own history and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for ~10% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 12% a year.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 30.7 vs a 42.1 median over 41 quarters (−27% vs median).
Sector median 30.5× across 203 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
