BLUE BIRD CORP. DL-,01

Blue Bird reported adjusted EPS of $1.28 for Q3 2026 (forecast $1.27) and revenue of $517.2m, up 23% year‑over‑year, supported by higher unit sales and the full consolidation of Micro Bird. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $71m with a margin of 13.8%, though the margin impact of the Micro Bird acquisition put short‑term pressure on results. Management raised the full‑year outlook (revenue $1.74–1.76bn, adjusted EBITDA $245–250m) and plans a significant expansion into the commercial chassis market in partnership with Ford; production is to begin in 2028. Investors reacted cautiously amid remaining uncertainty over margin mix and the timing of growth projects. » More on de.investing.com
