Optimistic Buy Rating for Deluxe Driven by Strategic Focus and Strong Cash Flow Potential

Analyst Lance Vitanza of TD Cowen maintained a Buy rating on Deluxe (DLX – Research Report), reducing the price target to $33.00.

Lance Vitanza’s rating is based on a combination of factors, including Deluxe’s strategic focus on expanding its high-margin, technology-driven segments. This approach is expected to drive growth while maintaining strong financial discipline and consistent cash flow generation. Despite some recent revenue and EBITDA challenges, the company’s long-term guidance for 2025 suggests a solid growth trajectory. Vitanza has adjusted his price target to $33, taking into account a balanced financial outlook, but remains optimistic about the company’s potential in the technology sector.
Furthermore, the updated price target reflects a revised valuation approach that considers the diverse components of Deluxe’s business. The analyst acknowledges the temporary softness in financial metrics but sees it as overshadowed by the company’s ability to exceed free cash flow expectations in the fourth quarter. This performance, combined with a commitment to financial stability, supports the Buy rating, indicating confidence in the company’s future prospects.
