The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Jan. 21, edition that Raymond James analyst Frederic Bastien has reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation and $34 share target for Bird Construction. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that analysts on average target the shares at $34.80. Mr. Bastien says in a note: "We reaffirm our 'outperform' rating on Bird Construction based upon the firm's record backlog, healthy balance sheet, leading self-perform capabilities and strong alignment with long-tern national investment themes. After a 2025 somewhat tainted by project delays and a client's bankruptcy, Bird Construction is starting 2026 focused on securing long-term work programs and delivering further margin improvements." The Globe reported on April 23 that Mr. Bastien had upgraded Bird Construction to "strong buy" from "outperform." The shares could then be had for $20.64. The Globe reported on July 18 that Mr. Bastien had cut his recommendation for Bird Construction to "outperform." The shares could then be had for $29.96. The Globe reported on Nov. 14 that Stifel analyst Ian Gillies had reaffirmed his "buy" recommendation for Bird Construction. The shares could then be had for $25.59.
