Rome Capital Alex Feng | “NCR Atleos has been one of the most successful spinoffs in recent memory. We spent significant time speaking with stakeholders, but in truth, what we did was not to reinvent the wheel, but simply to verify the company's plan and capabilities. Much of the thesis was already laid out in the company's own presentations. The real opportunity came from recognizing what many others refused to see. In conversations with North American and European investors, we repeatedly saw them shut down at the mention of “cash” and “ATM,” or dismiss the story because of painful prior experiences with NCR. Few were willing to listen to the fact that a pivot toward ATM-as-a-Service (ATMaaS) would significantly expand its TAM even if overall ATM demand is going to decline, and the new management team has delivered much better results in recent years. That collective reluctance was the opening. As Atleos began to execute and, later, as a highly respected investor published a detailed bullish report, the stock nearly doubled from where we first discovered it. We believe its re-rating journey is still in the early innings — many investors are only now beginning their research. The stock nearly doubled and we think the market is still early. BSD Analysis: NCR Atleos is the “plumbing” behind cash access—ATMs, network services, and managed infrastructure that banks and retailers rely on even as the world talks about going cashless. The key nuance is that cash usage declines slowly and unevenly, while the need for reliable ATM networks remains stubbornly persistent in many communities. Atleos can win by being the lowest-cost, most reliable operator, shifting banks from owning ATMs to outsourcing them. The business has strong recurring service revenue characteristics, but it's also exposed to transaction volumes and contract renewals. Execution is about operational uptime, cost discipline, and securing long-duration managed services agreements. The bear case is a faster-than-expected cash decline or margin squeeze from competitive bidding. The bull case is that Atleos becomes the consolidator in a “boring but essential” infrastructure niche.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Sep 5, 2025 | View Pitch |
