Both companies cited challenges in the financing market.Software company Zendesk Inc. managed to strike a roughly $10 billion deal to be purchased by private-equity firms Permira and Hellman & Friedman LLC in late June. That deal was buoyed by private-credit providers.Founded over 130 years ago, NCR has recently been focused on diversifying its business from hardware-focused products like ATMs and self-checkout technologies to software and services for customers in banking, restaurants and retail.For the first quarter, NCR reported revenue of $1.86 billion, an increase of 21% year-over-year, but below its forecast of $1.9 billion to $1.95 billion. The company adjusted its full-year guidance down to about $8 billion in revenue, citing the effects of the war in Ukraine, inflation and the Omicron Covid-19 variant.NCR, formerly known as the National Cash Register Co. and once part of AT&T, in February launched a strategic-review process that has drawn interest from private-equity suitors. The shares have fallen with technology stocks since then and are down about 30% this year, closing at $29.10 on Monday.NCR shares jumped more than 10% in premarket trading.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9075557550,"gmtCreate":1658232996470,"gmtModify":1676536125556,"author":{"id":"4107069802859630","authorId":"4107069802859630","authorIdStr":"4107069802859630","name":"A H Lim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4107069802859630"},"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9075557550","repostId":2252558245,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":25,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.28.3","shortVersion":"4.28.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2252558245"}
