For Q3, the company sees revenue of $370 million to $390 million and profits of 46-52 cents a share; the Street has been projecting $402.7 million and 60 cents.The weak guidance is pressuring the stock in late trading.
For the full year, Coinstar sees revenue of $1.425 billion to $1.505 billion, with profits of $1.88 to $2 a share; the Street consensus has been $1.57 billion and $1.88.
CSTR in late trading is down $4.69, or 9.8%, to $43.40.
