Current thesis
The May 6 quarter showed solid profitability, a guidance raise, and a visible second-half revenue bridge from the large electric-bus deposit; if the backlog converts cleanly and the Micro Bird integration adds scale without margin friction, Blue Bird can compound earnings faster than the market currently implies.
