Stamps.com concerns based on Trump's post office proposal are overblown, says analyst

Maxim Group analyst Allen Klee defended Stamps.com Inc. on Friday and said that the stock's sizable selloff in the prior session was "an overreaction." Stamps.com's stock slid more than 10% Thursday after the Trump administration released a broad array of proposals, which included a plan to potentially privatize the post office. "We think it is unlikely that changes to the USPS would negatively impact Stamps.com and would use the pullback as a buying opportunity," Klee wrote. "Any potential changes made to USPS that would improve its financial condition and maintain its competitive position versus other carriers would be a positive to Stamps.com, in our view." Klee has a buy rating and $320 price target on the stock, and he recommended that investors look at the recent pullback as a buying opportunity. Stamps.com shares are up 71% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 13%.
