Activist investor Starteepo has built a 7.34% stake in Xerox and is demanding an immediate review of the financial services unit, separate disclosure of its metrics, a reduction of balance-sheet debt and stricter capital discipline. Starteepo insists on presenting an operational strategy by the quarterly report and hiring advisers to consider options such as joint ventures, strategic partnerships or a full sale. The investor values the finance unit at up to USD 7.69 per share and sees a potential equity value for the company of around USD 3.3 billion (more than USD 18 per share), after which Xerox shares rose in pre-market trading. » Más en de.investing.com

Xerox reported Q1 2026 revenue of $1.85 billion, beating the consensus of $1.75 billion, driven by the Lexmark acquisition and 27% year‑over‑year sales growth. Earnings per share came in at -$0.43, well below the forecast of -$0.27, weighed down in part by higher interest expenses. Despite the earnings miss, the stock surged strongly in premarket trading (+27.41%) as investors focused on the revenue gain and integration potential. Management expects EPS to improve in subsequent quarters (Q2: -$0.04, Q3: $0.27) and is targeting cost cuts and synergies to lift margins. » Más en de.investing.com

Xerox will issue warrants pro rata to holders of ordinary shares, preferred shares and convertible bonds to strengthen its capital structure and balance sheet. Eligible holders as of the record date of 9 February 2026 will receive one warrant for every two ordinary shares, with an exercise price of 8.00 USD; allocation is planned for 11 February 2026 and the warrants will have a two‑year term. Warrants may be exercised for cash or by delivering certain Xerox debt securities at par; the exercise right will lapse early if the volume‑weighted average price reaches a threshold equal to 50% of the exercise price on 20 of 30 trading days. The issue is free of charge; approval for listing and a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC have been submitted but are not yet declared effective. » Más en de.investing.com
