$58M Texas A&M Contract to Build Wildfire Surveillance Fleet
BAER sits 29% above its 52-week low of $1.47 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Bridger Aerospace won a $58 million contract with the Texas A&M Forest Service to build a state wildfire aviation surveillance program, delivering three King Air 360 aircraft over three years. This is a material win for a company with a $107 million market cap and follows a string of recent task orders and international leases, signaling strong demand for its aerial firefighting services. The contract provides multi-year revenue visibility and diversifies its government customer base beyond federal agencies. It comes after a weak Q1 marked by a 46% revenue drop and significant cash burn, so this award helps stabilize the outlook. Execution on aircraft delivery and program build-out will be key milestones to watch.
At the time of this announcement, BAER was trading at $1.90 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $106.6M.
