Liberty Park Capital made the following comment about Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“We are pleased that Liberty Park Fund, LP has gotten off to a strong start in 2023. January was a particularly strong month for both of our funds, and LPF was able to use the market’s strength to install several new short positions; those positions greatly helped the portfolio in February and March as the market receded.

Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT) lowered its guidance and delayed its return to profitability as machine orders are being pushed out. Despite the near-term pressure on equipment sales, the high-margin consumables (textile inks) business continues to grow and is underappreciated by investors.”
