Brookfield Business Corporation (BBUC) gives public-market investors exposure to Brookfield's global private equity capabilities by acquiring leading companies, improving their operations and cash flows, then monetizing them and recycling capital. Its portfolio spans industrials, business services, and infrastructure services, and includes operations such as Clarios, CDK, Sagen, and Scientific Games. Management says net asset value per share has grown at a mid-teens annual rate since the company was established a decade ago, driven by operational improvements, asset sales, and the reinvestment of proceeds.
According to the latest available EDGAR filings, fiscal 2025 revenue declined to $27.5 billion from $40.6 billion in fiscal 2024 and $55.1 billion in fiscal 2023, while net income fell to $387 million from $895 million and $3.8 billion, respectively. In Q2 fiscal 2025, revenue was $6.7 billion, net income was $135 million, and earnings per share were $0.12, compared with revenue of $11.9 billion, net income of $65 million, and negative earnings per share of $0.10 in Q2 fiscal 2024. The filed statements do not include gross profit, so a reliable gross margin cannot be derived from them.
In Q2 fiscal 2026, adjusted EBITDA was $587 million versus $591 million in the comparable period, while adjusted EFO increased to $289 million from $234 million, including a net gain of $40 million primarily related to proceeds from the sale of securities. The industrials segment led the operating mix with adjusted EBITDA of $323 million, followed by business services at $204 million and infrastructure services at $96 million; these segment results totaled $623 million before corporate-level differences. On a same-store basis, adjusted EBITDA grew by approximately 5% for the company and by 6% in both industrials and business services.

The analyst consensus rates BBUC shares a "Buy," with an average price target of $40.67 and a narrow range of $40 to $41.5. The average target and the lowest and highest estimates are all above the top of the 52-week range of $38.25, while the full range extends from $27.64 to $38.25; however, the narrow target range alone does not reflect the risks of declining annual revenue, pressure at CDK, and rising losses at Sagen. No usable price-to-earnings ratio is available in the provided data, so the valuation case rests primarily on the target consensus, the capital recycling track record, and management's stated discount to net asset value when executing repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA was $587 million versus $591 million in the comparable period, but the result was affected by reduced ownership in three companies following partial stake sales. Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, adjusted EBITDA grew by approximately 5%, while new acquisitions added $23 million. Adjusted EFO increased to $289 million from $234 million, including a net gain of $40 million primarily related to proceeds from the sale of securities.
The industrials segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $323 million in Q2 fiscal 2026 versus $305 million in the comparable period, with 6% growth on a same-store basis. The business services segment recorded $204 million versus $205 million, but also grew 6% on a same-store basis. Infrastructure services recorded $96 million versus $109 million, affected by the sale of a partial interest in the access services business, a contractual penalty, and increased investment in the lottery business.
BBUC committed more than $300 million to acquire the two companies at entry multiples ranging approximately from 9 to 11 times and averaging approximately 10 times. WFC represents more than 300 airlines across more than 70 countries, and BBUC aims to consolidate its decentralized operations and use automation and artificial intelligence in pricing, booking, customer service, and billing. Gregg serves approximately 25,000 customers through more than 150,000 stock-keeping units, with opportunities to increase share of wallet, improve pricing, and leverage purchasing power.
The company generated $1.2 billion from asset sales and distributions during the first six months of fiscal 2026, including an agreement to sell Multiplex for approximately $650 million. Since launching the repurchase program at the beginning of the previous fiscal year, it has repurchased more than $300 million of shares at an approximately 50% discount to net asset value, including approximately $50 million in Q2 fiscal 2026. Management allocated an additional $150 million to repurchases, with pro forma corporate liquidity of approximately $2.8 billion at quarter-end.
CDK faces increased customer churn and is implementing initiatives to modernize its technology and products, while concerns were raised on the Q2 fiscal 2026 call regarding debt trading levels, rating watch status, and potential discussions with lenders that management did not confirm. Management said CDK generated positive operating cash flow during the twelve months ended in the quarter and that its liquidity was strong, but improving customer retention remains tied to successful modernization. At Sagen, the loss ratio was 17% and was trending toward the historical range of 15% to 25% due to higher claims and lower delinquency cure rates as home prices declined.
BBUC invested approximately $100 million in OpenAI DeployCo after the original commitment was up to $150 million, then syndicated part of it to institutional partners. At Clarios, sensors on machines were used to improve understanding of operating and maintenance cycles, production planning, and battery inventory. At Chemelex, machine-learning sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and production factors to train models that determine polymer-blending settings, with the aim of reducing production waste and variability, while management sees opportunities for hundreds of millions of dollars in annual operating savings across the portfolio.
