Frequently asked questions

Is BLBD growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Blue Bird Corp's revenue has grown 11.0% per year, and net income grown 60.0% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does BLBD have?

As of FY2025, Blue Bird Corp reported $90M of total debt against $229M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 23×.

What is BLBD's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 20.5%, operating margin 11.3%, and net margin 8.6%.

What is BLBD's P/E ratio?

Blue Bird Corp's P/E (TTM) is 6.50 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the BLBD stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 14.3× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
