Compass Point reiterates a 'Neutral' on NCR Corp. (NYSE: NCR) price target raises from $21 to $23.

Analyst, Douglas Greiner, says, "Our revised EPS estimates are $2.40 in 2012 ($2.24 previously) and $2.60 in 2013 ($2.38 previously). Our revised price target of $23 equals 9.6x this year's EPS. On the conference call, the company stated its ATM business is as strong as ever, citing Financial Services backlog growth for 10 consecutive quarters (15% growth this quarter) and revenue growth of +15% for 4 consecutive quarters (17% growth this quater). Beyond Financial Services (55% of total revenue), the Radiant acquisition and the divestiture of the Entertainment segment are driving overall performance. While we remain cautious due to the $1.3B unfunded pension liability and weak free cash flow, we acknowledge NCR's financial performance. Within our coverage, we continue to favor the companies with the most ATM exposure."
