Xerox Lifts Revenue and Profit Outlook, Boosts Lexmark Synergy Targets
XRX has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $1.19.
Summary
Xerox raised its full-year revenue and adjusted operating income guidance, and increased its gross synergy targets for the Lexmark acquisition. The company raised its 2026 revenue view to about $7.6 billion from above $7.5 billion, and its 2026 adjusted operating income view to $555 million-$605 million from $450 million-$500 million. Xerox also boosted its Lexmark gross cost synergy target by $50 million to at least $350 million. The raised outlook suggests the turnaround is gaining traction, and the higher synergy targets imply the Lexmark deal is delivering more value than initially expected. The news follows a period of activist investor accumulation, with STARTEEPO Invest recently lifting its stake to 6.84%, adding pressure for improved performance. The guidance raise directly counters the negative narrative from the Q1 report and could force a reassessment of the stock's trajectory.
