1.b. Last Insights on REVG

The recent 3-month performance of REV Group, Inc. was negatively impacted by the transportation sector's underperformance. Despite strong Q1 earnings and revenue beat, the company's stock has lagged its peers. The RV segment's weakness, partly offset by the specialty vehicle segment's growth, contributed to the mixed performance. Additionally, the company's high backlog and industry consolidation in the specialty vehicle segment may not be enough to offset the RV segment's challenges.
