EPS trend settles around C$1.13 over 12 months

• On a trailing twelve month basis, Mullen Group has basic EPS of C$1.13, with quarterly EPS ranging from C$0.16 in Q4 2025 to C$0.37 in Q2 2026.
• What stands out for a bullish view that focuses on earnings resilience is how EPS has stayed in a relatively narrow band around C$1.10 on a trailing basis, even as individual quarters like Q4 2025 came in at C$0.16 and Q2 2026 reached C$0.37. This suggests earnings have not swung sharply in either direction over the past year.

Margins, growth and net income stay modest

• Net profit over the last twelve months is C$104.8 million on C$2.3b of revenue, which works out to a 4.7% net margin compared with 4.9% a year earlier.
• Bears often focus on profitability, and the 4.7% margin alongside trailing net income moving between C$91.1 million and C$107.8 million highlights that returns remain modest. The small slip from 4.9% to 4.7% offers some support to a cautious view that profitability has limited room for error.

Valuation, growth forecasts and debt in focus for Mullen Group

• The stock trades on a 26.4x trailing P/E at a share price of C$28.73, sits close to a DCF fair value of C$28.85, and is paired with 4.3% reported earnings growth over the past year and forecast earnings growth of about 12.6% per year alongside roughly 4% forecast revenue growth.
• For an investor weighing bullish and bearish angles, the combination of a P/E below both peer (27.9x) and North American Transportation industry averages (32.9x), earnings growth that runs ahead of the 1.9% five year average, but also relatively high debt and an unstable dividend record, creates a mixed picture where valuation and growth expectations are balanced by capital structure and income reliability.
