CPI Card Group ( (PMTS) ) has issued an announcement.
On March 5, 2026, CPI Card Group reported that fourth-quarter 2025 revenue rose 22% year-on-year to a record $153.1 million, with net income up 9% to $7.4 million and adjusted EBITDA up 34% to $29.4 million. For full-year 2025, revenue increased 13% to $543.5 million, driven by the Arroweye acquisition, contactless card demand and instant issuance solutions, while net income fell 23% to $15 million due to acquisition and integration costs even as adjusted EBITDA rose 5% to $96.5 million and free cash flow climbed 21% to $41 million.
Management highlighted 2025 as a year of strategic expansion, citing the May 6 acquisition of Arroweye Solutions, completion of a new secure card production facility, entry into the closed loop prepaid market, and a strategic relationship with Australia-based Karta, alongside continued 20% growth in its SaaS-based instant issuance business. To support long-term growth, CPI has realigned into three operating and reporting segments—Secure Card Solutions, Prepaid Solutions and Integrated Paytech—effective with the March 31, 2026 quarter, and issued an initial 2026 outlook calling for high single-digit revenue growth and low-to-mid single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth, with Integrated Paytech targeted to lead segment performance.
The new segment structure, which does not change previously reported consolidated results but reclassifies prior-period segment data for comparability, is intended to better reflect CPI’s technology-driven offerings and higher-growth digital solutions. Alongside paying down $20 million of its 10% senior notes and ending 2025 with net leverage of 3.1x, CPI is investing heavily in Integrated Paytech and other technology initiatives, seeking to strengthen its competitive position as U.S. card volumes continue to expand at a mid-single-digit to high-single-digit annual rate.
The most recent analyst rating on (PMTS) stock is a Buy with a $30.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CPI Card Group stock, see the PMTS Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PMTS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PMTS is a Neutral.
CPI Card Group’s overall stock score is driven by moderate financial performance and valuation, with strong cash flow generation offset by profitability and leverage concerns. Technical indicators suggest potential overbought conditions, while recent corporate events and strategic initiatives provide a positive outlook. However, mixed earnings call results and margin pressures remain significant risks.
