Badger Infrastructure Solutions (TSX:BDGI) Shares Just Moved, What Is Driving Attention Now?

Badger Infrastructure Solutions (TSX:BDGI) just reported third quarter results that paired a 21% revenue jump with essentially flat year to date earnings, and then backed that up by affirming its quarterly dividend.

Badger Infrastructure Solutions has had a choppy run into these results, with the share price at CA$76.88 after a 2.86% one day gain. However, the 30 day share price return is down 15.10%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 99.02% shows how strong the longer term ride has been. Recent updates on fleet expansion, capital spending plans and the dividend affirmation help explain why analysts remain engaged, even as the 7 day and 90 day share price returns are down 8.91% and 13.78%. The 1 year total shareholder return of 4.68% is now only modestly ahead of the year to date share price gain of 5.36%.
