CPI Card Group: Still Attractive After Q1 Profitability Lag

  • CPI Card Group's Q1 results were quite weak. Good sales growth was offset by a significant decline in the gross margin. The 2025 guidance should be taken with some caution. The recent Arroweye acquisition is fair. While coming at an EV/EBITDA higher than CPI Card Group's own, sales and cost synergies should offset the fact. After the stock's crash, PMTS stock is very attractively priced. I estimate a 65% upside to $33.00.
