What the manager wrote
School bus manufacturer Blue Bird also saw its share price fall following its earnings release. Investor concerns centred on unit deliveries and the acquisition of a division of Ford's step-van chassis business. Having met with its management, we remain constructive on the outlook and believe the acquisition has potential.
