FIRSTSERVICE

Osterweis Opportunity Fund said FirstService endured a tough Q2 as weakness in its roofing and residential closet businesses weighed on organic growth. The fund expects revenue to accelerate in H2 driven by easier comps and a normalization in storm restoration after muted 2025 weather, and it is maintaining its position given FirstService's low valuation versus its ten‑year range. FirstService shares have declined over the past month and year, reflecting ongoing operational softness. » More on finance.yahoo.com
