A sharp swing to profitability and higher full-year guidance signal that the Lexmark integration and cost-cutting efforts are gaining real momentum. Debt fell by more than $200 million and synergy targets were boosted, directly addressing concerns raised by recent activist pressure and a weak first quarter.
