AT&T Pension via Fidelity

Noticed the estimated Lump Sum payout is LOWER for 2026 vs. 2025, which is both alarming and surprising - especially since interest rates declined in 2025 ….. so, I was expecting to see an increase in the Lump Sum amount. Anyone else experience this, and any insight or explanation ??

IBM Corruption

"Similarly, inside IBM, there are many whistleblowers and some of them come to us directly, others post in online forums. They're sick and tired of their lying CEO and crooked CFO, who seems to be focusing on financial engineering, not technical engineering." https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/17/Resisting_IBM_and_EPO_Corruption.shtml

Code RED, massive reorg

You cannot imagine how serious the memory crisis is the company is facing right now. The company has for many months act on it but was not taking much action thus lead to the CEO demise. Now the situation is so bad that the company is exploring reconfiguring/resourcing/reusing memories but the impact is near negligible. The problem cannot be solve with throwing more money at it as it is not a money problem. So bad is the situation that the production rate is so low that it's coming to a standstill. Externally the company is totally handicapped by the memory situation, internally they are tightening up so much that it's scrapping every single cents to can save to cushion the financial impact.


Where's Bank salary/benefit expense going?

Between Q3 2025 and Q4 2025, FSB reduced FTE headcounts from 13,221 to 12,824 (379 FTE reduced). However, Salaries and Benefits expense went up from 1.74 billion dollars to 2.32 billion dollars. This does not include bonuses since bonuses are paid out in Q1 2026. Has Bank really spent so much on severances or has Bank hired highly compensated employees while cutting MSRs?

You can look up the numbers by going to FFIEC call report.


If it’s so bad, why haven’t we lost that many clients yet?

It absolutely IS bad, no doubt about it. Every year things have gotten worse and worse. But from a numbers standpoint, have we lost any major clients or even mid sized clients? Or are we just doing well since the market is up and most of our fees are asset-based? I moved out of a finance role years ago so I’m really not close to the numbers as I used to be but would anyone closer have more insight?


Warrants - am I following along here?

Aside from the cash for shares at $8, which only a lunatic would exercise, I would like to test my understanding of the debt instrument exchange.

Am I correct that bondholders can essentially "self-call" their bond, benefiting Xerox by having the obligation to pay interest removed? If yes, what is the value to the bondholder who now holds a variable dividend equity position based on their bond par value in a company that may not recover?


Form K-8 SEC Filing - Please help me understand.

So today a new form was published via the SEC, that explains that every shareholder would get 1 x Warrant pr. 2 x shares they hold on the 9th of Feb.

One warrant allows the holder to purchase 1 x Xerox share for $8 within the next two years.

This part I understand, meaning they are only valuable in this form should our stock increase with 400% over the next 2 years.

The last part is where I’m not sure:
The warrants may be exercised for cash at any time prior to expiration.

What does that mean?


Intel CFO

I don't get it, how is Dave Zinsner still CFO at Intel? This guy miss managed Intel Finances for the last 4+ years and yet he is still there! I don't get it. His latest comment is about miss reading (or underestimated) Server demand is just mind blowing.

This guy should of been kicked out back in December 2024, yet he is still here. Is the board filled with a bunch of circus clowns or something!.


Say goodbye to what's left of the dividend

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The dividend has got to go. It's only $13m a year, but XRX needs the $$ to pay interest. XRX should have fully eliminated the dividend when Carl left. Also, how stupid would it be to issue more shares without cutting out the dividend. XRX must go into serious cash preservation mode.
