The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, May 15, edition that BMO Capital analyst John Gibson has upgraded Bird Construction to "outperform" from "market perform." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Gibson gave his share target a $5 boost to $60. Analysts on average target the shares at $48.57. Mr. Gibson says in a note: "One day after downgrading Bird Construction to 'market perform' on the back of its strong run and multiple lift, we are re-upgrading the shares to 'outperform.' While we were incorporating a level of data centre wins, the long-term partnership with Bell (announced pre-market) provides an extra layer of growth moving forward. Our updated numbers continue to incorporate mid-teens revenue growth in 2026, followed by a 25-per-cent increase in 2027 (now at the guidance midpoint from the low end prior)." The Globe reported on May 30, 2024, that Mr. Gibson commenced coverage on Bird with an "outperform" recommendation. It was then worth $21.34. The Globe reported on April 21, 2026, that ATB Cormark Capital Markets analyst Chris Murray had an unchanged "outperform" recommendation on Bird Construction. The shares were then going for $44.
