Gabelli downgraded Diebold (NYSE: DBD) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $47.00 (from $54.00) due to operational and end-market risks ahead.

The firm lowered 2013 and ’14 EPS estimates to $2.40 and $2.80, from $2.85 and $3.35 respectively.

"Diebold faced several headwinds in the quarter including lower mix due to higher National account business; project delays in Brazil; the ongoing FCPA investigation and the new Brazil tax assessment; and forecasting issues in North American operations impacting profitability," the analyst comments.
