Bernzott Capital Advisors made the following comment about SP Plus Corporation (NASDAQ:SP) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

SP Plus Corporation (NASDAQ:SP): The company has achieved a strong profit recovery in its commercial parking and aviation services businesses. New business wins and share gains are being driven by its “Sphere” technology solutions which enable capabilities such as contactless payment and gateless parking, and digital inventory and remote site management. Its debt position has been managed to comfortable levels following the spike due to the 2019 debt-financed Bags acquisition and that deal’s unfortunate timing right before the pandemic shutdown. The company has now re-engaged with modest share buyback and M&A programs.”
