NCR (NYSE: NCR) has come a long way from its origins as National Cash Register. Now, NCR assists its customers with the hardware, software, and services that they need in order to accept all sorts of different kinds of payments.
Coming into Thursday’s fourth-quarter financial report, NCR investors were looking for modest gains in sales that would produce double-digit percentage earnings growth. The company did a good job of living up to those expectations and then some, and NCR believes that 2017 could be even more favorable.
