2. Fresh profitability signals in a new filing
In a Form 6-K filed May 1, 2026 with unaudited interim financial statements and MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, FirstService showed revenue of $1.32 billion versus $1.25 billion a year earlier, operating earnings of $46.7 million, and net earnings attributable to the company of $20.0 million versus $2.8 million a year ago.

3. Street framing and what investors watch next
Even as some firms have adjusted models and targets after the quarter, analyst positioning remains broadly constructive, with multiple Buy ratings still in place and price targets well above where the stock has recently traded. The next catalyst investors will watch is whether margins in the Brands segment stabilize as the year progresses, alongside ongoing organic growth in Residential. (marketbeat.com)
