BLBD
Published: May 08, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Blue Bird Corporation's Q2 2025 results showed revenue growth and higher adjusted EPS, despite missing analysts' earnings expectations, reinforcing my 'strong buy' rating. Management's narrowed guidance and reaffirmed long-term outlook, along with undervalued stock pricing, highlight significant growth potential, especially in electric bus deliveries. Profitability metrics were mixed, but adjusted operating cash flow rose, and future projections suggest substantial upside potential, with shares trading at attractive multiples.

BLBD
Published: March 27, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I believe Blue Bird shares could be near rock bottom, with potential support in the low $30s after a steep 40% selloff. I find the long term demand compelling, with over 270k aging buses likely needing replacement in the next years. Management is projecting strong EV segment growth in FY25, but I caution that litigation over EPA funding remains the key risk.
