Bird Construction Inc. - TSE: BDT Stock Analysis, Financial Position, Price Predictions

An interesting stock that I came across in my searches for the next purchase - Canadian Bird Construction Inc. (TSE: BDT). What caught my attention is the snowflake analysis chart that says the stock has exceptional growth potential, undervalued, and pays a dividend with a 5.34% yield (which is not on my priority list, but good to have). I like exceptional growth at a good value.
