Usio downgraded to Underperform at Barrington after Q1 miss

As previously reported, Barrington downgraded Usio (USIO) to Underperform from Market Perform with no price target after the company reported Q1 results that missed the firm’s estimates. The firm, which is reducing its 2025 and 2026 adjusted EBITDA estimates, believes the stock remains “significantly undervalued” and that the company is worth $5.00-6.00 per share on a sum-of-the-parts basis. However, it also believes an “exogenous catalyst is needed to realize fair value,” but that senior leadership “seems too entrenched,” the board “seems to be totally disengaged,” and that the “enhancement of shareholder value remains elusive.”
