Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
A EUR-100-billion backlog, 58% from higher-margin services and signaling, and a growing European rail market provide exceptional revenue visibility and a credible recovery path once ramp-ups stabilize.
Bears
Three consecutive years of cash disappointments and two profit warnings since Bombardier suggest execution failures are systemic—better backlog quality has not translated into better delivery.
