I know there were a lot of stories regarding the possibility that Xerox could be sold of to another company, either by selling the whole company or by selling part by part. But realy, how close is this to reality. Is the leadership already in the mood to sell Xerox to any bidder that would offer enough money, is the selloff just an option or is it out of the question for now?

There is a company that is doubling down by taking more and more of the printing market even though it's shrinking. They just need to take market share faster than the market shrinks. Then at some point, split it up into two pieces. One stands as printing and the other is bought.

Why ...nothing to offer anymore .
I don't see why any competitor would buy for the following reasons
-
Decreasing market share y/y in an industry that's decreasing y/y. It's cheaper to just take former Xerox customers at contract renewal.

Accounting games where Corporate push around debt obligations (paying vendors/raises/bonuses). The true cash flow isn't known.
That said, stupid acquisitions happen every year. More often than not. If Xerox ever turns around revenue, it is small enough to be acquired. The most attractive targets are the ones that are growing.
Are you kidding?
