Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Sell' on VeriFone (NYSE: PAY) price target of $45.00.

Analyst, Bryan Keane, said, "...PAY’s 3Q12 guidance of $495-500m and $0.68-0.70 in EPS came in slightly below our estimates, and PAY reiterated guidance for FY12 (Street expected a raise in our view). PAY pointed to f/x as the cause for the weak guidance, which was surprising considering PAY's prior position that f/x has no material impact as the company adjusts its pricing and prices most contracts in US dollars. Given the abysmal FCF and the lack of financial transparency, we reiterate our Sell rating."
