Year-to-date, SP Plus Corp (NASDAQ:SP) stock lost 32.4% and on December 14th it had a closing price of $38.70. Here is what Bernzott Capital Advisors said:
“SP Plus (SP): SP Plus continues to struggle with the pandemic. The company operates in industries that have been greatly affected by the events of 2020 including professional parking management, ground transportation, remote baggage check-in and handling, and large event logistics. The company continues to generate free cash flow and it continues to invest in technology which should give it a competitive advantage over competitors with less scale. The company said it believes the greatest impact of this pandemic-related crisis on the business was felt in the second quarter, with expected progressive improvement from that low point during the second half of the year. The strategies that contributed to that momentum should continue on the other side of the pandemic.”
