The latest update is out from Brink’s Company ( (BCO) ).

On February 26, 2026, Brink’s Company and NCR Atleos announced a definitive agreement under which Brink’s will acquire NCR Atleos in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $6.6 billion, including the assumption of $2.6 billion of NCR Atleos debt. The transaction, unanimously approved by both boards and expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, will see NCR Atleos shareholders receive $30 in cash and 0.1574 Brink’s shares per NCR Atleos share, implying a 24% premium to NCR Atleos’ prior close and leaving Brink’s shareholders with roughly 78% of the combined company.

The combination aims to create a leading financial technology infrastructure company by integrating Brink’s global cash logistics and digital retail solutions with NCR Atleos’ end-to-end ATM services, ATM-as-a-Service platform and large owned ATM network. Brink’s expects the enlarged group to generate about $10 billion in annual revenue, shift further toward recurring and subscription-based streams, deliver at least 35% earnings-per-share accretion and realize an estimated $200 million of annual cost synergies within three years, supported by up to $4.5 billion in committed bridge financing to fund the cash portion of the deal and refinance NCR Atleos debt.

The deal remains subject to shareholder approvals, antitrust and other regulatory clearances, satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the absence of material adverse effects at either company. If completed, NCR Atleos will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, an NCR Atleos-designated independent director will join the Brink’s board, and management of the combined company will be led by Brink’s Chief Executive Mark Eubanks and Chief Financial Officer Kurt McMaken, further cementing Brink’s position in higher-margin ATM managed services and digital retail solutions markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (BCO) stock is a Buy with a $163.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Brink’s Company stock, see the BCO Stock Forecast page.
