The thesis — published September 17, 2025
Blue Bird's stock pulled back, but early signs suggest buyers are stepping back in. The price even traded above the typical analyst target this week. BTIG kept a bullish $65 view, and Zacks lists it as a Strong Buy. A solid order book and progress in electric buses could help the company push back toward prior highs over the next 0 to 3 months as the recent pause in the stock begins to clear.
