Analysis · BGSI · Trade & Services
Boyd Group delivered a strong quarter with sales surpassing $1 billion for the first time, driven by the Joe Hudson's acquisition and 2.9% same-store sales growth. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 140 basis points to 13.4%, and the company accelerated its synergy target, now expecting $35 million from Joe Hudson's in 2026, up from $20 million. While net earnings were pressured by higher depreciation and interest costs from the acquisition, adjusted earnings per share rose 13% to $0.80. The results demonstrate successful integration and market share gains, though temporary sales disruptions from system conversions are expected to persist into Q3.
