What believers are saying

Bird Construction reports record $11B backlog with 45% growth despite Q4 loss

Bird Construction Inc reported a record backlog exceeding $11 billion in Q4 2025, representing 45% growth over 2024. The company secured $4.7 billion worth of work during the year and achieved a full-year gross profit margin of 10.5%, up from 9.7% in 2024. However, the company posted a net loss of $14 million in Q4, primarily due to a $62.2 million impairment on accounts receivable related to customer creditworthiness concerns. Revenue remained flat compared to 2024, affected by project delays and unfavourable weather conditions. Bird Construction's acquisition of FRPD expanded its self-performed capabilities in marine construction and dredging. The company expects double-digit revenue growth in 2026, with 54% of its backlog scheduled for execution during the year.
