SEYMOUR, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seymour Community School District students will board new buses this upcoming 2025/2026 school year.

Blue Bird's recovery was not by accident, despite the ongoing tariff war and the regulatory headwinds surrounding the pulled funding for electric school buses. The management has competently raised prices as part of their margin-neutral tariff strategy, with it triggering the higher ASPs and expanding profit margins. Combined with its well-diversified school bus platform across diesel, gasoline, gas, propane, and EV, we believe that BLBD remains well positioned to outperform ahead.
