Last Words

The stock has outperformed the industry in the past one year. NCR’s shares have returned 18.1%, compared with the industry’s decline of 12.2%.

NCR’s growing exposure in the ATM and self-service kiosk space is encouraging, given the tremendous prospects in the respective markets. Continuous product launches, growing popularity of its self-service offerings and synergies from acquisitions are the catalysts. Continuous deal wins also drive growth.

Nonetheless, softness in the ATM business in mature markets, competition from Diebold Inc. (DBD - Free Report) and HP Inc. (HPQ - Free Report) ,and a high debt burden remain concerns.

Currently, NCR caries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
