Badger Meter, Inc.

HALAL — DATA INCOMPLETEstock

Is BMI Halal?

Water metering, flow instrumentation and smart-water software — generally permissible activity whose known current asset-based ratios pass, with activity classification incomplete.

What You Should Know

Badger Meter's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $970.808 million, no drawn interest-bearing debt, cash of $205.453 million, receivables of $110.290 million and quarterly net sales of $202.277 million. Debt/assets is 0.00%, liquidity/assets is 21.16%, receivables plus cash/assets is 32.52% and disclosed net interest income is 0.56% of revenue. The known asset-based ratios pass, but no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Known asset-based ratios pass, but no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed
  • The filing reports a $150.0 million credit facility with no drawn balance at March 31, 2026
  • Municipal water, infrastructure and industrial flow end markets require qualitative review
  • Disclosed net interest income is 0.56% of quarterly revenue; no fixed purification percentage asserted
  • Recurring software and monitoring services should be revisited as the mix changes

Business-activity disclosure

Badger Meter manufactures water meters, flow-measurement instruments and smart-water monitoring software. The core activity is generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for all industrial applications and customers.

Limitation: No universal prohibited-activity revenue numerator or scholar-specific purification percentage is disclosed; the screen does not invent one.

Purification

Badger Meter reports $1.138 million of net interest income, but no scholar-specific purification percentage is asserted and the activity numerator remains incomplete.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Badger Meter's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • No interest-bearing debt is reported; the $150.0 million multi-currency credit facility supports commercial paper but had no reported drawn balance. Operating leases are excluded.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $205.453 million and no separate interest-bearing security balance is identified.
  • Accounts receivable, net is $110.290 million and first-quarter net sales are $202.277 million.
  • The filing reports $1.138 million of net interest income, or 0.56% of revenue; this is a disclosed net line, not a gross-income or purification prescription.
  • Water metering, flow instrumentation and utility-resource software are generally permissible, while the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
