Pitney Bowes Investment Narrative Recap

To own Pitney Bowes, you need to believe the company can keep improving profitability and cash generation even as physical mail steadily shrinks. Right now, the key near term catalyst is whether margin gains and higher earnings guidance can offset pressure in Presort from rising transportation costs, while the biggest risk remains a high debt load in a structurally challenged mail market.
