Heartland Revisited

Heartland Payment shares have mostly recovered since the breach. On Jan 
16, 2009 they traded at $15.44/share, today they are at $14.93 which is a 
loss of around 3%. Certainly good news for their investors after they 
immediately dropped over 50% after announcing the breach. They did not go 
belly up as many predicted, but how did they do against the market and 
their peers?

Here is HPY's performance arrayed against two similar business Global 
Payment and Western Union. HPY underperforms both by around 20 points. 
Interestingly, the payments space has not had robust performance, since 
the S&P have outperformed GPN and WU by a wide margin and HPY by over 40 
points.
