In the said letter, Diamond Hill Capital highlighted a few stocks and Cimpress Plc (NASDAQ:CMPR) is one of them. Cimpress is an online provider of printing services. Year-to-date, Cimpress Plc (NASDAQ:CMPR) stock lost 32.8% and on June 4th it had a closing price of $81.02. Here is what Diamond Hill Capital said:

“We reinitiated a position in online print solutions provider Cimpress PLC, which owns Vistaprint, the largest producer of mass customized printed products, such as business cards. Cimpress has a long track record of successfully winning market share across its markets while maintaining a focus on delivering attractive returns on capital. In recent periods management has been focusing its efforts on optimizing its advertising spend to deliver the strongest returns on capital. This has led to declining sales in some businesses but significant increases in cash flow. While the market has been focused on the top-line trends, we believe the management team is making the right decisions to maximize long-term intrinsic value.”
