Our service-led growth initiatives and investment in product innovation are encouraging financial institutions and retailers to choose our differentiated and comprehensive offering to meet their evolving self-service needs. In the first half, service and software business paced our growth and ATM hardware revenue was steady at historically high 2025 levels.

Company Overview
Spun off from NCR Voyix in 2023 to focus exclusively on self-service banking technology, NCR Atleos (NYSE:NATL) provides self-directed banking solutions including ATM and interactive teller machine technology, software, services, and a surcharge-free ATM network for financial institutions and retailers.
Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Regrettably, NCR Atleos’s revenue grew at a weak 1.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last four years. This fell short of our benchmarks and is a poor baseline for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a stretched historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. NCR Atleos’s annualized revenue growth of 1.4% over the last two years aligns with its four-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, NCR Atleos missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 0.1% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $1.1 billion of revenue.
