DA Davidson downgraded Green Dot (NYSE: GDOT) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $20.00 (from $50.00).
Analyst, John Kraft, said, "We slashed our estimates and while we suspect management’s guidance was overly conservative, we expect the stock to be in the penalty box for some time. Given GDOT’s industry leading retail dependence, GDOT has the most to lose from the loss of retail exclusivity."
"Card metrics were affected by the loss of the TurboTax business as new cards activated grew only 8.8% to 1.98 million...Essentially the company expects to lose share as previously exclusive retail partners begin to offer competitive prepaid cards; NetSpend’s (Nasdaq: NTSP)(BUY) PayPal card, among others, was mentioned."
FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $1.70 to $1.35, FY13 from $2.40 to $1.62. FY12 revenues cut from $593.7M to $545.5M and FY13 from $712.3M to $596.2M.
