UPDATE: Compass Point Upgrades Verifone Systems to Buy on Risk/Reward

Compass Point upgraded Verifone Systems

from Neutral to Buy and maintained a $28.00 price target. Compass Point noted, "While there is lingering uncertainty surrounding potentially disruptive threats as well as a number of serious historical accounting concerns to be conscious of, the shares are trading near $20.50 in the pre-market down from the 52 week high of $56. We consider the risk/reward at this level favorable. Our $28 price target equals 10x our estimate of next year's Adjusted EPS." Verifone Systems closed at $20.50 on Wednesday.
