the investors are not buying it.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=DBD&t=1yDiebold hit a high of $57 Nov 3rd, shortly before California lit into them. The price then started a downward trend and is now trading at $46 (it dropped under $44 in May). If you look at the volume of shares traded, the highest volume has been when the price is falling.
At $46 the stock is trading where it did in 1998. Of course, if you adjust the $46 for inflation, the stock is trading at $42 in 1998 dollars.
