Blue Bird Corporation: A Speculative Value Play
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.

Blue Bird Stock Is A Bargain, Not A Value Trap
BLBD
Published: February 14, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Blue Bird Corporation remains a “Strong Buy” due to its solid backlog, strong funding, and undervaluation, despite recent stock price underperformance. The company reported strong Q1 FY2025 results, with $313.9 million in sales and $45.6 million in adjusted EBITDA, beating internal and consensus estimates. Management's guidance suggests continued growth, targeting 14.5-15% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2028, supported by increasing EV orders and strategic price adjustments.
