(<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock.aspx?stock=OUTR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASDAQ: OUTR<\/a>), formerly known as Coinstar, slashed its financial outlook for the fiscal third quarter and fiscal year 2013. The kiosk operator said that huge discounts at Redbox rentals business failed to generate a desired response. Besides, high promotions, although helped attracting new customers, hurt the average size of the transaction. The Company said that revenue and rentals were higher in July and August but &#8220;they were not to our expectations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-47278\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shares plunged almost 20% in aftermarket trading.<\/p>\n<p>For the fiscal third quarter, Outerwall Inc expects core earnings to be in the range of 82 cents to 94 cents a share down from its earlier forecast of $1.36 to $1.51 a share. Revenue is expected in the range of $569 million to $589 million.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts\u2019 consensus estimate was for earnings of $1.43 a share on revenue of $612.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>For the fiscal year 2013, Outerwall anticipates earnings of $4.72 to $5.12 a share on revenue of $2.27 billion to $2.34 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of $5.83 a share on revenue of $2.39 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The Company is scheduled to report quarterly results on October 24.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Outerwall said that intends to repurchase another $100 million worth stock. The Company expects to commence the program (shares buyback) during an open trading window in the fiscal fourth quarter. So far in the third quarter, the Company has repurchased shares worth nearly $24 million.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"nr_popular_placeholder\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/outerwall-cuts-q3-earnings-guidance-outr\/47278\" data-title=\"Outerwall Cuts Q3 Earnings Guidance (OUTR)\"><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"mNCC\" language=\"javascript\">  medianet_width='600';  medianet_height= '250';  medianet_crid='814932888';  <\/script>  <script id=\"mNSC\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130920072720js_\/http:\/\/contextual.media.net\/nmedianet.js?cid=8CUT71M67\" language=\"javascript\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\">\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_2\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_3\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = {\"data_track_addressbar\":true};<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js#pubid=pennystocksfinder\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-end-on-a-mixed-note-75\/47347\"><br \/>\nStocks End on a Mixed Note<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-catapult-as-fed-opts-to-not-taper-qe3-siler-prices-also-surge\/47345\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Catapult As Fed Opts To Not Taper QE3; Siler Prices Also Surge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-shed-early-gains-3\/47342\"><br \/>\nStocks Shed Early Gains<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stocks-gain-in-early-trade-8\/47340\"><br \/>\nStocks Gain in Early Trade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/forex-market-update-dollar-index-near-seven-month-low-yen-falls-sharply\/47337\"><br \/>\nForex Market Update: Dollar Index Near Seven Month Low, Yen Falls Sharply<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/gold-prices-climb-more-than-4-silver-prices-soar-as-well\/47334\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Climb More Than 4%, Silver Prices Soar As Well<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/stock-futures-gain-9\/47333\"><br \/>\nStock Futures Gain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130920072720im_\/http:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
