Blue Bird (BLBD) is poised to capture investor attention as it approaches its earnings announcement on November 24, 2025, with a whisper number suggesting an EPS of $1.20, slightly above the consensus estimate of $1.05. This subtle optimism reflects market confidence in Blue Bird's ability to navigate the current economic landscape, despite the absence of recent news.
