News

Latest PMTS news & analysis

The Overhang Is Over. Buy The Dip In CPI Card Group.

Seeking Alpha · 23 Sept 2026positive

CPI Card Group (PMTS) is seen as positioned for a rebound after the final overhang from Parallel 49 Equity's secondary sale has cleared. The company reported 15% revenue growth in Q2, raised guidance, and now projects 2026 free cash flow of $45–50 million, with insider and institutional buying at the secondary price cited as signs of confidence.

Why it matters — A PMTS watcher would care because the removal of the secondary-offering overhang, combined with raised guidance and insider buying, could remove a key downward pressure on the stock and support its outlook.

CPI Card Group (PMTS) Soars 7.8%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Zacks Investment Research · 15 Sept 2026neutral

CPI Card Group (PMTS) shares rose 7.8% last session on higher-than-average trading volume. However, the latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
