CPI CARD GROUP DL-,001

CPI Card Group fell about 16% after major stockholder Parallel49 Equity announced a secondary sale of 2.3–2.7 million shares at $21.50 each, roughly 20% below the prior close. The sale followed recent positive free cash flow results that had driven a sharp August rally. After the drop, the stock trades at roughly 4x price-to-free-cash-flow. Analysts note the sale reflects Parallel49 exiting a long-held position, and CPI was not included in a separate top-10 stock recommendation list. » Więcej na finance.yahoo.com
