Investment summary
XBP is an outsourcing and technology-services company struggling after a major acquisition, with both revenue and earnings declining. The company launched a strategic review in May 2026 and is considering a range of options, including a sale. At the same time, management is cutting staff and targeting $65–75m of annual cost savings while raising fresh equity and dealing with tax-default issues. The balance sheet remains heavily leveraged, with $373m of debt versus about $37m of equity value at $3.10/share. XBP trades at around 4.7x 2025 adjusted EBITDA, but earnings are falling sharply, with Q1 2026 pro forma EBITDA down 40% YoY. The broader outsourcing sector is also facing increasing disruption from AI, making the outlook highly uncertain.
