Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Sell' on VeriFone (NYSE: PAY) price target of $30.00 (from $40.00).

Analyst, Bryan Keane, said, "Yesterday, PAY filed its 2Q12 10-Q with no material new disclosures besides a June 8, 2012 patent infringement lawsuit and 2Q12 pro forma organic growth of 10% (vs the 9% stated on the earnings call) if all acquisitions had been completed as of the beginning of FY11. After restating its cash flow statement shortly after it reported earnings, PAY has highlighted our top concerns of weak financial controls and anemic FCF generation. Given the lower peer group valuations since our April 30 downgrade, uncertain business fundamentals, poor financial disclosures, and lack of FCF, we reiterate our rating and cut our price target."
