Diebold Nixdorf Cuts Full-Year Adjusted EPS Outlook to $4.50-$4.85, Stock Falls 10% Despite Q3 Revenue Beat

Diebold Nixdorf reported third-quarter 2026 GAAP revenue of $994.3 million, a 5% year-over-year increase that beat analyst estimates, but slashed its full-year guidance on elevated component costs and product mix pressures, sending the stock down roughly 10%.

The earnings picture was mixed. GAAP net income fell sharply to $7.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with $1.11 per share in the same period a year ago, even as revenue and adjusted EBITDA both grew. The company cited raw material and component cost headwinds as the primary drag on profitability.

Diebold Nixdorf cut its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to $490 million-$510 million from a prior range of $510 million-$535 million, trimmed its free cash flow forecast to $190 million-$210 million from $255 million-$270 million, and reduced adjusted earnings per share guidance to $4.50-$4.85 from $5.25-$5.75. Revenue guidance was narrowed to $3.86 billion-$3.90 billion from $3.86 billion-$3.94 billion. Management said ongoing productivity improvements and operating expense discipline would partially offset the cost pressures.

Alongside the results, the board authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program, signaling confidence in the longer-term outlook even as near-term earnings estimates declined.
