Diebold Nixdorf reaffirms 2026 outlook with revenue of $3.86 billion to $3.94 billion
Key Facts
There is no evidence that Diebold Nixdorf cut its 2026 financial outlook; on July 29, the company said it had "reaffirmed its 2026 outlook" alongside its second-quarter results. The outlook included annual revenue of $3.86 billion to $3.94 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $510 million to $535 million. The company also set free cash flow for the fiscal year at $255 million to $270 million. These figures cover fiscal 2026 and do not describe a long-term outlook. The available information therefore does not support the outlook-cut claim in the initial version of the story.
In the second quarter of 2026, the company reported revenue of $930.8 million on a GAAP basis and $927.6 million on a non-GAAP basis. It said net income rose 28% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA increased 8%. Earnings per share also rose 33% on a GAAP basis and 17% on a non-GAAP basis, compared with the same quarter a year earlier. These results put quarterly measures alongside the revenue, profitability and cash flow ranges the company maintained for the full year. The company reported the figures in its second-quarter results statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Second-quarter activity included contracts to deploy Smart Vision AI technology in 1,400 new lanes at two major grocery retailers in Europe. The company said the contracts represented its largest new deployments of the technology to that point. In July, it also announced business with a major fashion retailer in the U.S. and Canada, including the deployment of RFID self-checkout hardware and software. The contracts provide examples of business the company announced during the same period in which it reaffirmed its annual outlook. The company’s statement did not link the contracts to a change in that outlook.
On October 26, Diebold Nixdorf and Euronet announced plans to pursue a global collaboration to develop integrated solutions for financial institutions to outsource ATM operations. Chief Executive Octavio Marquez said the proposed collaboration could help banks reduce costs and expand financial services available to customers through ATMs. But the companies said they had signed a nonbinding letter of intent and that any collaboration or partnership would require negotiating and signing definitive agreements. The project therefore remained a proposal when announced and was not a final, binding agreement. The announcement came ahead of the company’s next quarterly results.
The company had announced that its third-quarter 2026 results would be released before trading began on Wednesday, October 28. It also scheduled an investor call for 8:30 a.m. Eastern time that day. The release was expected to provide an update on the company’s performance following its second-quarter results and July reaffirmation of its annual outlook. The revenue, earnings and cash flow ranges the company announced in July remain the figures included in the available evidence for this story. That evidence does not include a verified closing share price for October 27 or the stock’s daily trading range.
