DAYTON, Ohio - NCR Corp. said it expects its second-quarter results to exceed expectations by 15 cents a share due to strong sales in its Teradata Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service divisions and gains in efficiency.
Its shares reached a three-year high in July 19 trading on the news. Shares closed at $51.81, up $4.79, or 10 percent.
