SunTrust analyst Andrew Jeffrey kept his Buy rating and a $23 price targat on Verifone (PAY) after its in-line Q4 results and "messy" FY18 guidance. Jeffrey says the company's offerings remain "relevant" across its merchant base despite the competition from Square (SQ), forecasting low-single digit organic revenue growth and better margins going forward. The analyst attributes the FY18 guidance miss to the Street not having adjusted its consensus view following the company's divestitures.
