What happened
Reached 29% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 7, 2025
- Explain the plan - Highlight why the company can grow - Keep risk clear and simple - Use easy numbers we can track BLBD dipped but the bigger trend still looks healthy. It has a top analyst rank, beat its sector by 51.2% this year, and trades at about 14.47 times expected earnings, which is reasonable. Buying in steps near $57.50-$59.50 aims for a move back toward its usual range as demand and pricing for electric school buses help profits. Sticking to the range helps control entry price.
Primary drivers
- Recent pullback within an overall uptrend, setting up a bounce opportunity
- Top analyst ranking and up 51.2% this year versus its sector peers
- Looks reasonably priced at about 14.47 times next year earnings estimates
- Growing demand for electric school buses supports future sales and margins
