CIMPRESS plc represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns CIMPRESS plc a Hold rating, with a composite score of 61.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #558 of 7,333 stocks, CMPR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 59/100, CMPR shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -41.1% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 47.1% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 2.8% (sector avg: 2.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
CMPR carries a solid value score of 82/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 16.01x, an EV/EBITDA of 4.37x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.

Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 29.5% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 5.2% (sector: 2.4%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
CMPR shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 83/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 29.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.06 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
CMPR shows good financial stability with a score of 69/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.06. This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
CIMPRESS plc's short interest score of 32/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.6B (small-cap), CMPR carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
CIMPRESS plc is a small-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #558 of 7,333 overall (92nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -41.1% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 7.0% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While CMPR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
