• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "GDOT has a lot going for it in '17. We believe pricing from higher monthly fees is the most impactful tailwind, with other important drivers including: 1) tight alignment between management and a re-constituted board, 2) trend of higher revs/account, 3) margin expansion, and 4) continued share buybacks. We are raising our '17/'18 EPS ests (4%/5% above Street) and our PT to $32, and believe GDOT should re-rate to peer levels as momentum builds through the year." (1/19/2017)
• 3. Citigroup Inc. analysts commented, "Following last year's activist intervention which successfully put two of their nominees on the board, we note a more disciplined strategic focus and better execution along with interesting optionality as GDOT is exposed to 'gig' economy growth; better capital return and possibly lower tax rate."
