Weitz Investment Partners III Opportunity Fund made the following comment about CoreCard Corporation (NYSE:CCRD) in its third 2023 investor letter:

“On the negative side of the ledger, CoreCard Corporation (NYSE:CCRD) and Perimeter Solutions SA (PR) were material detractors for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. CoreCard provides payment processing for Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.’s, (GS) credit card business, including the Apple Card. Press speculations suggest Goldman Sachs has considered moving the Apple relationship to a new provider, despite having recently signed a new, two-year contract with CoreCard. We are monitoring developments closely, and a range of potential outcomes are possible, including CoreCard retaining the processing function even if Goldman selects a new provider for other service elements.”
