Badger Meter Inc has split its stock 6 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on April 21, 1997 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of BMI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 5 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on September 16, 2016 on a 2-for-1 basis.
These splits have increased BMI stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that these actions only change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Badger Meter Inc's total market capitalization.

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Badger Meter Inc has not made an official announcement regarding whether it will enact a stock split or reverse stock split, but it has a history of doing so when BMI stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Badger Meter Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
