Needham analyst Mayank Tandon has maintained their neutral stance on GDOT stock, giving a Hold rating today.
Mayank Tandon has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Green Dot’s current financial performance and future outlook. The company’s first-quarter results for fiscal year 2024 presented a mixed picture; although there was commendable revenue growth driven by the Business-to-Business (B2B) segment, particularly in Banking as a Service (BaaS), profitability was constrained by higher processing expenses and additional spending on regulatory compliance efforts.
Despite these challenges, the reaffirmation of the full-year guidance by Green Dot’s management was seen as a positive sign. However, Tandon remains cautious due to several concerns, including ongoing account attrition, potential client de-conversions, and persistently high processing costs. Additionally, the impact of a consent order is anticipated to continue affecting the stock’s performance. Taking these factors into account, Tandon concludes that the risk-reward profile for Green Dot is balanced and expects the stock to trade within a specific range, leading to the decision to maintain a Hold rating.
In another report released today, Craig-Hallum also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
