The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, March 17, edition that TD Cowen analyst Michael Tupholme continues to rate Bird Construction "buy." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Tupholme's share target soared $13 to $44. Analysts on average target the shares at $41.60. Mr. Tupholme says in a note: "Bird Construction expects double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in 2026, with Q1/26 growth relatively muted (i.e., impact of previously announced project delays), but revenue growth ramping up toward the end of Q2/26 and remaining robust through H2/26. Bird remains confident oil sands project delays will subside as the year progresses due to clients' regulatory compliance requirements. Further, Bird's record combined backlog and a robust bidding environment across various sectors (i.e., defence, data centers, nuclear) support growth beyond 2026. Bird also reaffirmed its 2027 EBITDA margin target of 8 per cent (vs. 6.5-per-cent realized in 2025). Management noted that nuclear work currently represents 10 per cent of Bird's overall revenue, and expects that exposure to increase over time. ... We continue to like Bird's medium to long-term outlook."
