My Foolish take
Diebold seems to be a good stock for investors to ride the company’s turnaround. With the lowest valuation, new leadership and the potential $100-$150 million cost savings, Diebold could boost its bottom line significantly by 2015, pushing up its share price. Senior portfolio manager Ann Milletti of Wells Capital Management thought that the company’s private market value could be around $44 per share, a 38% premium to its current price.
