NCR Takeover Scenario Playing Out for Investors

In what seems to be a win for investors, ATM and point-of-sale terminal maker NCR Corp. (NCR) has been approached for a takeover by private equity firms (as of yet unnamed). This pushes the stock closer to our January takeover scenario valuation, though the company has not formally committed to selling itself. Read on for more details on the previous activism attempts and our potential Spinoff/sale scenarios.

Where's the Value?
We built out three scenarios for NCR to create value for shareholders on the following: (i) fundamental, (ii) Spinoff and (iii) takeover. These valuations are included in the attached report (please click above), and it seems that with the recent private equity talks on a takeover the stock has brought the price up to around $31.70, providing a further +14% upside to our target price.
