Starteepo tlačí Xerox k strategickému přezkumu divize XFS
XRX Xerox
Patria Stock News 86
Original source text
Společnost Starteepo, vedená českým investorem Františkem Bostlem, vyzvala společnost Xerox, v níž navýšila svůj podíl na 7,34 procenta včetně opcí, k přijetí kroků, které by odemkly hodnotu pro akcionáře. Zároveň požaduje strategické přezkoumání podnikání Xeroxu v oblasti finančních služeb. Akcie Xeroxu reagují v premarketu růstem až o osm procent.

Pražská investiční společnost je aktuálně se zmíněným podílem 7,34 procenta včetně opcí po firmách Blackrock a Vanguard třetím největším akcionářem Xeroxu. V otevřeném dopise firmu vyzývá ke snížení zadlužení rozvahy a k disciplinovanějšímu nakládání s kapitálem.

„Starteepo oceňuje pokrok současného managementu při integraci Lexmarku, zvyšování ziskovosti a snižování zadlužení. Za další významnou příležitost považuje Xerox Financial Services (XFS), finanční divizi zajišťující financování zařízení zákazníkům. Podle analýzy Starteepo by XFS mohla mít hodnotu 1,3–1,5 miliardy dolarů, tedy přibližně 7,69 USD na akcii Xeroxu. Fond proto navrhuje zvýšit transparentnost výsledků XFS a zahájit strategické posouzení možností jejího dalšího rozvoje, včetně zapojení externího kapitálu, joint venture, částečné monetizace či případného prodeje,“ uvádí Bostlova společnost v tiskové zprávě.

Zmíněná hodnota XFS podle Starteepo – 7,69 USD na akcii – značí více než dvojnásobek ceny akcií celé společnosti, které v pátek na newyorské burze uzavřely na ceně 3,32 USD.

Xerox vyrábí tiskárny, skenery, spotřební materiál a příslušenství. Akcie firmy za posledních 12 měsíců ztratily přibližně 13 procent, což tržní hodnotu dostalo na úroveň kolem 418 milionů dolarů, píše agentura Bloomberg.

Starteepo také uvedla, že divize XFS by měla zvážit takzvanou optimalizovanou kapitálovou strukturu, v níž by financování portfolia poskytovala třetí strana, zatímco Xerox by si ponechal správu služeb a vztahy se zákazníky. Starteepo poukázalo na to, že podobné modely financování využívají například společnosti HP, Siemens nebo General Electric.

„Domníváme se, že pokračující snižování zadlužení, větší transparentnost divize XFS a vybudování kapitálově nenáročné platformy společně povedou k růstu hodnoty vlastního kapitálu společnosti. V konečném důsledku vidíme méně zadlužený a nově přeceněný Xerox jako firmu, která bude lépe schopna podílet se na konsolidaci odvětví a dosahovat prémiového ocenění. Jsme přesvědčeni, že po úspěšném snížení zadlužení rozvahy a následném přecenění společnosti by Xerox mohl být pro potenciální zájemce o převzetí v budoucnu oceněn až na 3,3 mld. USD hodnoty vlastního kapitálu, což představuje více než 18 USD na akcii, pokud by se společnost rozhodla dále zvažovat další strategické alternativy,“ stojí dále v dopise Starteepo.

Xerox zvýšil výhled 2026 díky synergiím Lexmarku
XRX Xerox
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways Xerox beat Q2 estimates and raised 2026 revenue and adjusted operating income guidance.Lexmark synergies and cost actions lifted margins, with adjusted operating margin reaching 10.6%.Pro forma revenue fell 6.5%, while free cash flow improved to $11 million in the second quarter. Xerox Holdings Corporation (XRX - Free Report) topped second-quarter 2026 expectations and raised its full-year outlook as Lexmark integration benefits and cost actions lifted profitability. Revenue growth was acquisition-driven, while underlying demand remained softer.

The main question is how much of the profit improvement can persist without the $105 million tariff-receivable benefit. Margin expansion excluding that item and higher Lexmark synergy targets support the operating case, but pro forma revenue declines and modest free cash flow keep execution in focus.

XRX's Q2 Beat Included a $105 Million TailwindXRX reported earnings of 36 cents per share, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate by more than 100%. Revenues of $1.92 billion beat the consensus mark by 1% and increased 22% year over year.

Profitability received material support from a $105 million pre-tax benefit tied to tariff receivables. Adjusted operating margin reached 10.6%, but excluding that benefit, the margin was 5.1%, still up 140 basis points year over year.

Xerox Raises 2026 Profit Guidance After Q2Xerox now expects 2026 revenues of approximately $7.6 billion, up from its prior outlook of more than $7.5 billion. The revision reflects higher expectations for the Print and Other segment.

Adjusted operating income guidance increased to $555-$605 million from $450-$500 million. Free cash flow guidance remained approximately $250 million, making the unchanged cash target an important counterpoint to the higher profit outlook.

XRX's Lexmark Synergies Add Operating LeverageXerox raised its Lexmark gross cost synergy target by $50 million to at least $350 million, with half expected to be realized in 2026. The higher target builds on Project Reinvention and the company's broader effort to reduce its cost base.

Adjusted gross margin improved to 36.4% from 29.3%, aided by Lexmark, integration synergies and transformation savings. The margin progress suggests operating leverage is emerging, although the tariff-receivable benefit also contributed to reported profitability.

Xerox's Pro Forma Revenue Decline Tests MomentumReported revenue rose 22% year over year, but pro forma revenue declined 6.5%. Print and Other revenue fell 6.1% on a pro forma basis, while pro forma equipment revenue dropped 13%, showing that acquisition-driven growth has not yet translated into underlying expansion.

HP Inc. (HPQ - Free Report) remains a relevant print benchmark because it continues to report a dedicated Printing segment. Canon Inc. (CAJPY - Free Report) likewise competes across office multifunction devices, laser printers and production printing through its Printing Business Unit.

XRX's Free Cash Flow Must Catch UpFree cash flow improved to $11 million in the second quarter from an outflow of $30 million a year earlier. Operating cash flow reached $37 million compared with an $11 million outflow in the prior-year period.

The improvement is directionally positive, but Xerox still expects approximately $250 million of free cash flow for 2026. Delivery against that target will help show whether margin gains and integration savings are translating into stronger cash generation.

XRX's Style Scores Point to Mixed Near-Term SignalsThe quarter strengthened Xerox's profit outlook, but the mix of tariff benefits, synergy gains and contracting pro forma revenues keeps the durability question open. Stabilization in underlying revenue trends would make the margin improvement more convincing.

XRX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating a neutral near-term stance. You can seethe complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It also has a Value Score of A, Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of A and VGM Score of A. Those grades are constructive within the Style Score framework, but Style Scores are designed to complement rather than override the Zacks Rank.

Key Takeaways XRX earnings rose to 36 cents per share, while revenues increased 22% y/y to $1.92 billion.Lexmark and a $105 million tariff benefit helped lift its adjusted operating margin to 10.6% y/y.Xerox raised 2026 revenue guidance to about $7.6 billion and profit outlook to $555-$605 million. Xerox Holdings Corporation (XRX - Free Report) reported impressive second-quarter 2026 results, with both earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

XRX’s earnings of 36 cents per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by more than 100%. In the year-ago quarter, the company had incurred an adjusted loss of 64 cents per share.

Revenues of $1.92 billion surpassed the consensus mark by 1% and rose 22% year over year. The Lexmark acquisition lifted reported growth, while pro forma revenues declined 6.5%. A $105 million pre-tax benefit from IEEPA tariff receivables materially supported profitability.

However, the better-than-expected results and a raised 2026 revenue guidance failed to impress investors, as the stock has declined 15.5% since the earnings release on July 30.

For 2026, Xerox expects revenues of approximately $7.6 billion, up from its previous outlook of more than $7.5 billion. The revision reflects higher expectations for the Print and Other segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $7.59 billion.

Xerox shares have depreciated 28.6% over the past year compared with the Office Supplies industry’s 7.2% decline. The Zacks S&P 500 composite has risen 21.1% over the same time frame.

XRX’s Revenue Mix Reflects Lexmark ContributionEquipment sales revenues increased 15.2% year over year on a reported basis and 15% at constant currency to $387 million. However, pro forma equipment revenues declined 13%, reflecting lower installations and a shift toward entry-level products.

Post-sale revenues climbed 30.7% on a reported basis and 29.7% at constant currency to $1.35 billion. On a pro forma basis, the metric fell 3.9%, hurt by lower equipment service, managed print services and financing revenues.

Xerox’s Print Business Posts Strong Profit GrowthPrint and Other revenues totaled $1.73 billion, up 26.9% year over year but down 6.1% on a pro forma basis. Segment profit surged to $220 million from $65 million, while the segment margin expanded to 12.7% from 4.8%.

Total installations declined 6% on a pro forma basis. Entry color installations rose 6%, but mid-range and high-end installations fell 13% and 19%, respectively. Management expects the entry-product backlog to support installations and revenues during the second half of 2026.

XRX’s IT Solutions Revenues DeclineIT Solutions revenues declined 8.9% year over year to $194 million. Product revenues fell 8.5% to $140 million, while services revenues decreased 14% to $49 million. Segment profit dropped 30% to $7 million and margin contracted to 3.7% from 4.8%.

Underlying activity was firmer than reported revenues. Pro forma non-GAAP gross billings rose 4% to $228 million, with year-to-date gross billings and gross bookings increasing 11% and 6%, respectively. Xerox cited double-digit growth in infrastructure and networking offerings and endpoints.

Xerox’s Margins Benefit From Tariff ReceivablesAdjusted operating income increased to $203 million from $59 million. The adjusted operating margin expanded 690 basis points to 10.6%. Excluding the tariff receivables benefit, the margin was 5.1%, up 140 basis points year over year.

Adjusted gross margin improved to 36.4% from 29.3%, aided by Lexmark, integration synergies and transformation savings. These benefits were partly offset by higher incentive compensation, product costs and lower finance-related fees. Non-financing interest expense increased 82% to $100 million.

XRX Strengthens Cash Flow & Lowers DebtOperating cash flow was $37 million compared with an outflow of $11 million a year earlier. Free cash flow improved to $11 million from an outflow of $30 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $495 million at June 30, 2026, compared with $512 million at year-end 2025.

The company reduced total debt by $223 million during the quarter. Total debt was $4.22 billion, while gross and net leverage improved to 5.9 times and 5.1 times, respectively, from 7 times and 6 times at the end of the first quarter.

Xerox’s Other Raised Guidance For 2026Adjusted operating income is now projected between $555 million and $605 million, up from $450 million to $500 million. Free cash flow guidance remains approximately $250 million. Xerox also raised its Lexmark gross cost synergy target by $50 million to at least $350 million, with half expected to be realized in 2026.

Currently, Xerox carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Xerox ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal odhady zisku i tržeb

FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Xerox Holdings Corporation (XRX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.36 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.06 per share. This compares to a loss of $0.64 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +500.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.2 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.11, delivering a surprise of +45%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Xerox, which belongs to the Zacks Office Supplies industry, posted revenues of $1.92 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.96%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.58 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Xerox shares have added about 11.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6.9%.

What's Next for Xerox?While Xerox has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Xerox was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.10 on $1.88 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.03 on $7.59 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Office Supplies is currently in the top 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the broader Zacks Industrial Products sector, Astec Industries (ASTE - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.

This maker of equipment for building, paving and mining is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +19.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.4% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Astec Industries' revenues are expected to be $402.5 million, up 21.9% from the year-ago quarter.
