BrightView's Recovery Timeline Remains Murky, Morgan Stanley Says; Price Target Cut
Nov 21, 2025 8:55 AM

11:41 AM EST, 11/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- BrightView Holdings' ( BV ) turnaround timeline remains uncertain after its landscaping maintenance and development services faced macro headwinds in fiscal Q4, Morgan Stanley said Thursday in a report.

On Wednesday, the company reported adjusted earnings fell to $0.27 per diluted share from $0.30 a year earlier as revenue declined to $702.8 million from $728.7 million. For fiscal 2026, BrightView ( BV ) set revenue guidance of $2.67 billion to $2.73 billion, trailing estimates by Wall Street analysts.

Both maintenance and development underperformed with discretionary maintenance work weighed down by a weaker macro backdrop and development pressured by project delays, Morgan Stanley said.

The fiscal 2026 guidance was "softer than expected," though it reflects positive revenue from landscape maintenance for the first time since 2023, the report said. Development services are also expected to recover in H2 as new branches open.

Morgan Stanley cut its price target on BrightView ( BV ) stock to $12 from $16 and maintained its equal-weight rating.

BrightView ( BV ) shares jumped 4.7% in recent Friday trading.

Price: 12.29, Change: +0.55, Percent Change: +4.68
