What Cimpress does

Owns Vistaprint and other mass-customization printing brands that let small businesses design and order printed products online.

Gathers thousands of small custom orders on the web and batches them through automated factories so each short print run is cheap. Vistaprint carries the group, with the other brands each serving a different type of buyer, and some units print for other design and print companies rather than end users.

Questions

Who are Cimpress's main competitors?

Is Cimpress expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 12.4× against a peer median of 16.0×, 4th cheapest of 13 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 5% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +8%, so the hurdle is -2 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Cimpress stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -38.5% against -13.6% for the median peer; over one year -12.9%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
