Investopedia: The Vistaprint Roller Coaster Screams Down Again

For as long as small business marketing specialist Vistaprint (Nasdaq:VPRT) has been on my watchlist, it has been an unusually volatile stock. That's not so unusual for a stock that frequently trades at such rich valuation multiples, but it also seems to reflect a fairly twitchy investor base for this company. While the idea of a pure-play service company targeting small-to-mid-sized businesses is clearly appealing, it seems that nobody really has a good sense of what constitutes a "fair" price for the enterprise. 

A Good End to the Year, But...   
Vistaprint ended its fiscal year with 27% reported revenue growth, and 20% growth on a constant currency basis. That compared pretty favorably to analyst expectations, and 17% order growth was a solid number (as was the 68% of business coming from repeat customers).
