catalyst	date	source / status	why it matters
Q2 2026 results and 10-Q	NOT YET FILED as of 2026-07-30	Federal Signal's most recent EDGAR filing of any kind is an 8-K dated 2026-05-20. The FY2025 comparable 10-Q was filed 2025-07-30, the FY2024 comparable 2024-07-31. The event is imminent; the date is not disclosed and is not estimated here	The single most important observation on this name. It resolves whether Q1'26's 0.996 book-to-bill and −5.9% backlog were one hard comparison or a trend. It is also the first quarter with New Way, Kinloch and Mega all in for a full period
Q3 2026 results	not announced	FY2025 comparable 10-Q filed 2025-10-30	second backlog observation
FY2026 10-K	not announced	FY2025 10-K filed 2026-02-25; FY2024 filed 2025-02-26	annual orders, backlog and — if the pattern holds — the acquisition notes for Mega and any 2026 deals
New Way purchase-price allocation finalisation	within one year of 2025-11-25, i.e. by 2026-11-25	10-K: "The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not more than one year from the acquisition date"	A disclosed deadline. Final PPA fixes the amortisation run-rate, which is 0.9% of revenue in the terminal-margin bridge
Mega purchase-price allocation finalisation	by 2027-01-16	Q1'26 10-Q, same one-year language, acquisition closed 2026-01-16	same
2025 Credit Agreement maturity	2030-10-29	10-K: "The 2025 Credit Agreement matures on October 29, 2030"	well beyond the thesis horizon. Covenant: consolidated total net leverage may not exceed 2.75:1.00 for an accordion expansion; current net debt / adjusted EBITDA is ~1.06x, so there is substantial acquisition capacity
FY2025 debt maturity ladder	2026 $0.5m · 2027 $10.4m · 2028 $20.3m · 2029 $20.3m · 2030 $514.2m · thereafter $0.9m	10-K maturity table at 2025-12-31	no maturity wall inside the thesis horizon — $0.5m due in the next twelve months

Not on this calendar, and why

No municipal budget-cycle or appropriation dates. Municipal demand is the stated driver, and Federal Signal discloses no order-timing data at all — no bid pipeline, no award schedule, no appropriation calendar. The only quantitative statement in the 10-K about order timing is that Environmental Solutions carries "approximately two to three months of shipments" in backlog and that certain businesses are seasonal. Nothing is written here beyond that.
No investor day is announced. None found on EDGAR.
No named future acquisition. Federal Signal closed five deals in three years but announces none in advance. Deal announcements are unscheduled 8-K events and are, empirically, the largest single-day drivers of the revenue line.
No product launch dates. Federal Signal attaches no launch date to any named product in the Q1'26 10-Q or the FY2025 10-K.
