Berenberg analyst Andrew Buscaglia upgraded Badger Meter to Hold from Sell and raised his price target for the shares to $46 from $42. The stock has become more attractive as a defensive play in water, Buscaglia tells investors in a research partially titled "A safe haven in water." He points out Badger Meter has higher North America sales exposure versus most peers, as well as a "more focused product niche in a growing metering market and reliable execution."The analyst thinks the company's valuation is supported by its defensive nature.
