Why Xerox (XRX) Shares Are Falling Today
Provided By StockStory
Last update: May 23, 2025
What Happened?
Shares of document technology company Xerox (NASDAQ:XRX) fell 15.9% in the afternoon session after the company announced a reduction in its quarterly dividend to $0.025 per share, or $0.10 annually, to improve its balance sheet and ensure sufficient capital is available to finalize its acquisition of Lexmark.
Despite the dividend cut, the company offered a positive outlook. It reaffirmed its 2025 financial guidance, signaling confidence in the business. Management also anticipated that the Lexmark acquisition would contribute to adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow, indicating that the deal is expected to strengthen profitability and liquidity.
Additionally, the company projected at least $238 million in cost and revenue synergies from the acquisition, achievable within two years.
