For months, we have been hearing the same pitch on repeat: “The Lexmark acquisition will unlock synergies...” “This is a transformational move...” “We are scaling for the future...” But now that Lexmark’s audited financials are public (thanks to... — read more

Xerox Public Debt is Junk
In addition to watching the stock price drop, it is also interesting to look at the price of Xerox's publicly traded bonds (CUSIP: 984121CB7, 984121CL5). They are trading this morning at about 47% of face value, making the yield over 16%. Moodys... — read more
Dividend yield is back up to 9.51%
Or 19.02% on the old payout from a month ago. It is wild that this will be back to double digits shortly after going down to 6%. When we get to $2, it will be 25% yield. Watch for SB to yank the dividend shortly.
Bankruptcy Chance now at 40%
I wonder if it'll hit $4.99 today?
Another 1,500–2,500 layoffs in 2025
Dear fellow survivors of the "Reinvention" era: Our brilliant leadership has decided the best way to save this sinking ship is to BORROW another $800M to fund the Lexmark acquisition - offering Senior Secured Notes. But here's the thing... who the... — read more
Can XRX afford to buy Lexmark
With Xerox increased debt load and declining share price, one has to wonder if the Lexmark deal is even feasible. The combination of Lexmark and Xerox is two drowning companies clinging to each other.

Vegas boondoggle
Just returned from Vegas. I’m a Xerox “Partner” AKA Dealer. More Xerox people in attendance compared to partners. You would think this company has money and is growing. Lots of fluff, no clear direction. No future in production print. At least I saw... — read more

SIP?
Before all of the haters attack me for this question remember we still do performance increases and they typically account for the money the year before. Has anyone heard anything about SIP for this year?
This is why XRX is doomed.

Another RIF Coming (Silently)
Is anyone hearing anything about another round of layoffs , next week ? I overheard a conversation yesterday leading me to believe there’s some major cuts in sales pending ? Blame sales I guess !!
Blame the Sales Reps...
Most any shortfall can be easily attributed to sales. Stock price down? If the sales reps did their jobs this would not be an issue! Profitability? If the sales rep would just SELL the superiority of the Xerox “brand” vs caving on price. Support? If... — read more

3/4/25 NEW 52 WEEK LOW
The 6th in a row. It got down to $6.16 today, and recovered most of it for a small loss. Unless SHTF tomorrow, it won't be 7 in a row. $6.16 is a wild number to hit.
Knock Knock Board - You There?
So is there going to be any accountability to the C Suite for the 57% decline? Is the Board going to address this issue from the top?

Farewell
Xerox was home for over a decade. I learned quickly how to navigate dysfunction and became an expert at it and it paid off for a long time. Then I was IRIF’d. Found a job quickly and am never looking back. Good riddance. It’s nice to have new... — read more
