In the payment card processing industry, CPI Card Group finds itself caught between the judgment of the market and the conviction of those closest to it. The stock has fallen to half its recent highs, yet analysts still see it worth twice its current price — a gap that speaks to the ancient tension between short-term disappointment and long-term belief. When a chairman buys shares the same week analysts are cutting targets, the story becomes less about numbers and more about who, in the end, is reading reality more clearly.
