I get it. The new world order is supposed to have electric cars and busses eliminating our dependence on oil, solar and clean nuclear is supposed to dominate, and we are all going to have some sort of energy epiphany.

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
Blue Bird's latest 11% drop makes it a bargain, in my opinion, given that the termination of the pension plan has zero impact on its cash balance and adjusted EBITDA. Blue Bird's Q2 results highlighted its operational excellence as its margins expanded YoY despite selling fewer units and diesel buses representing a majority of its sales mix.

Blue Bird acquired the remaining 50% of Micro Bird for $201.8M, implying 10.7x FY2026 forecast EBITDA, which is below the 12.3x sector median. The FY2026 EBITDA guidance raise of 8.9% is largely inorganic, while the organic raise is only 2.2%. Management has beaten guidance for 14 consecutive quarters, supporting credibility of midterm EBITDA targets.
