A company’s long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years.
With $3.70 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Diebold Nixdorf is a mid-sized business services company, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from better economies of scale.
As you can see below, Diebold Nixdorf’s revenue declined by 2.9% per year over the last five years, a poor baseline for our analysis.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss recent innovations or disruptive industry trends. Diebold Nixdorf’s annualized revenue growth of 3.2% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, but we were still disappointed by the results.
This quarter, Diebold Nixdorf missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 6.1% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $841.1 million of revenue.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 2.5% over the next 12 months, similar to its two-year rate. This projection is underwhelming and indicates its newer products and services will not lead to better top-line performance yet.
