Japan PM Ishiba to announce resignation by August end – Mainichi
Investing.com - DA Davidson reiterated its buy rating and $60.00 price target on ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ:ACIW) stock on Monday. The payment systems company, currently valued at $4.67 billion, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis.
The research firm maintained its positive outlook following ACI’s announcement earlier today that it has redeemed its $400 million in Senior Notes, which carried a 5.75% interest rate and were set to mature in August 2026.
DA Davidson noted that the redemption of these notes would likely result in lower net interest expense, potentially providing a modest benefit to the firm’s earnings forecasts for 2026 and 2027.
Earlier this month, ACI announced the appointment of Robert (Bobby) Leibrock as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2025. Leibrock will succeed Scott Behrens, who has served as the company’s CFO for the past 18 years.
The $60 price target from DA Davidson remains unchanged following these recent corporate developments at the payment systems company.
