AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I see BrightView as a commercial landscaper with recurring maintenance work, but not a franchise with a wide moat. In fiscal Q3 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $717.6 million, net income $6.1 million, and diluted EPS -$0.03. That compares poorly with fiscal Q3 2025, when net income was $32.3 million and diluted EPS $0.15. For the full year, FY2025 revenue was $2.7 billion and net income $56.0 million, down from FY2024 net income of $66.4 million on $2.8 billion of revenue; FY2023 had a $7.7 million loss. The Lynch category is TURNAROUND—returned to profit after a loss within the last three years—so the recovery is real but unproven. Financial health is mixed. Debt-to-equity is 0.55 and the Piotroski F-score is 8/9, yet trailing free cash flow is -$24.5 million and the Altman Z-score is 0.63. FairStock's ROE of 1.15% and ROCE of 2.26% are far below what I want in a quality business. At the $10.72 close on 2026-10-26, FairStock shows a $992.7 million market cap, P/B of 0.81, EV/EBITDA of 6.66, negative P/E of -44.67, and a FairStock score of 24/100. The low asset and EBITDA multiples hint at value, but negative cash flow and weak returns mean no obvious margin of safety. I would call it a speculative turnaround, not a proven compounder.

In plain English: BrightView provides commercial landscaping and snow removal services. The business looks weak now: sales are barely growing, profits have fallen sharply, and it is burning cash. The price looks low compared with the company's net assets, but weak earnings make it unclear whether that is a true bargain.
