Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 34% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 11, 2025
Blue Bird looks beaten down even though the business and price seem reasonable. The stock performed well earlier this year, and the current price versus expected earnings still looks fair. The key risk is headlines about possible cuts to clean energy grants, which could reduce bus orders and add sharp swings. We would start small near the listed range and add only if headlines ease, aiming for a rebound in the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- The stock was recently sold off and seems to be trying to steady and rebuild.
- This year's results are strong, while the share price still looks fair.
- News about possible cuts to clean energy grants could reduce future bus orders.
- If policy news settles down, the price may drift back toward typical levels.
How it played out
BLBD: target was not reached inside the window
Lyra published BLBD at 54.84 on 2025-10-11, with a short-term expectation of 20% growth. The thesis pointed to a recent selloff, strong results this year, and a share price that still looked fair. It also cited possible cuts to clean energy grants as the main risk, because those headlines could reduce future bus orders.
Inside the window, BLBD peaked at 58.5 on 2025-10-15, a 6.7% gain. That stayed below the 65.81 target. It never got there. By 2026-01-09, the stock ended at 48.43. The thesis partially played out early, but missed the full rebound it called for.
