CPI Card Declines As It Sees Less Strong Q4 Revenue Growth

(RTTNews) - Shares of payment technology company CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) are down more than 23% Friday morning after the company said it expects less strong revenue growth in the fourth quarter. However, CPI Card posted higher revenue and earnings in the third quarter compared with last year.

Looking forward, the company said it does not expect fourth quarter sales growth as strong as the first nine months as benefits of price increases and equipment investments are expected to have limited impact during the quarter.
