NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 21:14 ET — Market closed
- Diebold Nixdorf shares fell $3.95, or 5.8%, to $63.96 on Friday in the first U.S. trading session of 2026.
- The stock is about 8% below its 52-week high after a late-December run.
- Focus now shifts to next week’s U.S. jobs report (Jan. 9) and inflation data (Jan. 13), plus the company’s next earnings update listed for mid-February on data-provider calendars. 1
Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD) shares fell $3.95, or 5.8%, to end Friday at $63.96, marking a sharp retreat on the first trading day of 2026.
The drop matters because the stock had been trading near its highs after a late-December rally, and early-year positioning can magnify swings in smaller names. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, investors are weighing whether Friday’s move was a one-day reset or the start of a broader pullback.
Rate expectations are the bigger backdrop. Next week’s economic calendar is headlined by the monthly U.S. jobs report on Jan. 9 and a consumer price index reading on Jan. 13, both of which can shift the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts. 1
DBD traded between $63.75 and $68.84 on Friday, with about 339,600 shares changing hands, according to market data.
U.S. stocks ended mixed on Friday, with the Dow up 0.66% and the S&P 500 up 0.19% while the Nasdaq slipped 0.03%, Reuters reported. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak. 2
Diebold shares are now about 8% below a 52-week high of $69.78 and roughly 84% above a 52-week low of $34.72, Markets Insider data showed.
Peers were also lower. NCR Atleos fell about 2.3% and NCR Voyix slid about 3.2% on Friday, while Agilysys lost about 2.8%, according to market data.
Diebold Nixdorf sells hardware, software and services used by banks and retailers, and reports results in Banking and Retail segments, according to a Reuters company profile. 3
Friday’s decline followed a weak turn after the stock opened near $68.64 and finished close to the session’s low, a setup that traders often watch for follow-through when markets reopen.
Before the next session, attention turns to the Jan. 9 jobs report and Jan. 13 CPI release, Reuters said, with economists in a Reuters poll expecting payrolls to rise by 55,000 in December. 1
Traders will also track signals from Fed funds futures — derivatives that reflect expectations for the Fed’s policy rate — which Reuters said imply little chance of a cut at the late-January meeting but nearly a 50% probability of a quarter-point reduction in March. 1
On the chart, Friday’s intraday low of $63.75 is the nearest level investors are watching, with the $69–$70 area — around the 52-week high — acting as the obvious upside hurdle.
Company-side catalysts look lighter in the immediate days ahead, but Diebold is scheduled to appear at NRF’s “Big Show” retail conference in New York on Jan. 11–13, according to its events calendar. For earnings, Investing.com’s calendar lists Feb. 18 as the next report date. 4
