Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CMPR

09/25/2026: CMPR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Cimpress NV is a technology-driven company that operates as a decentralized platform for mass customization, providing personalized print, signage, and promotional products to small businesses and consumers. Its core strength lies in a proprietary manufacturing and technology backbone that supports a diverse brand portfolio, including the well-known Vistaprint. The company’s growth story centers on expanding its catalog and improving digital customer experiences to increase lifetime value. However, investors must monitor significant risks, including high debt levels, sensitivity to small business spending, and intense competition from online rivals. Given its growth profile and lack of dividends, it may best suit investors comfortable with volatility.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CMPR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CMPR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+541.2%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 4.9%), moderate revenue growth (+9.8%), soft profitability (net margin 2.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CMPR's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (4.9% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is CMPR's strongest growth driver at +541.2% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+26.6%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+9.8%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 90.5% and approximately 61.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 16.73% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CMPR generates approximately $463 of gross profit, $67 of operating income, and $49 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 36.48%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CMPR has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
