Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Sell' on VeriFone (NYSE: PAY) price target of $27.00 (from $30.00).

Deutsche analyst said, "PAY reported 3Q12 non-GAAP revenues of $493m, below our estimate of $503m, and pro forma EPS of $0.75, ahead of our $0.71 estimate mostly due to a lower tax rate. Pro forma organic growth of 6% (includes acquisitions) was below our 8% estimate due to a fire slowing production in Brazil, the absence of a software feature, and weakness in Europe. PAY surprisingly guided 4Q12 and FY13 revenues below Street estimates, with more questions arising about sustainability of FCF. Due to weak fundamentals, we are cutting our TP."

On lower tax rates, Deutsche Bank raises FRY12 EPS estimate from $2.69 to $2.75 and FY13 from $3.25 to $3.30.
