Read full summary
Diebold Nixdorf reported Q3 revenue of $994.3 million, up approximately 5.2% year over year and 2.4% above consensus, with Retail revenue up 16% and adjusted EPS of $1.34. However, GAAP diluted EPS fell to $0.19 from $1.11 and operating margin declined to 3.9% from 7.8%. Management lowered full-year adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow outlooks, while narrowing revenue guidance to $3.86 billion-$3.90 billion; the combination of solid top-line performance and materially weaker profitability and cash-flow expectations supports a bearish trend assessment.
