The market cap is at $519MM for the entire company. I blame the consultants. Bad things were going to happen, they just made them happen faster.
34% tariff on all that Chinese Lexmark cr-p
Good times!
Any word on annual raises?

Dumping ground for the professionally irrelevant
The majority of the ones still hanging around are the ones no other company would touch with a ten-foot pole or those of us waiting to retire. It's depressing to see.
Pay 13.5% to watch Lexmark bleed
Xerox just raised $800M in junk-rated debt to fund a business that’s already on life support: • 10.25% for First Lien Notes • 13.5% for Second Lien Notes That’s $95M/year in INTEREST — just for the privilege of owning Lexmark’s $743M annual... — read more
Xerox Q2 Earnings Call Drinking Game
Lexmark’s here. Interest is 13.5%. What could go wrong? ⸻ Take ONE shot when you hear: • “Synergies” • “Transformation” • “Operational efficiency” • “Integration is on track” • “Strong liquidity position” (LOL) ⸻ Take TWO shots when you... — read more

$800M of new debt priced - $400M at 13.5% & $400M at 10.25%
Wow, those rates reek of desperation. There is little to no chance we can service our debt load. Remember when we spent $1.5 BILLION of good money to buy back stock during 2021 to 2023? That was back when the stock price was 3x to 4x the price... — read more
SB is delusional
Why is he so comfortable yammering away on LinkedIn, collecting 2-3 positive comments from staff and vendors? I'm convinced the general business community has no idea what is going on here. I saw one employee post "proud to be a member of this STL"... — read more
-40% from 1/1/25
Let that sink in, in 3 months this dropped -40%. We are nearing the end of the story. The debt load, already fatal, will accelerate once the Lexmark deal goes through. SB and JB knew this was coming, and they just kept smiling, pretending that... — read more

Someone Should Ask at a Town Hall

Lexmark: the deal of a lifetime... for Ninestar, not Xerox
https://www.news.xerox.com/news/xerox-statement-on-lexmark-acquisition-valuation Xerox reaffirmed the $1.5B figure which we all knew was Enterprise Value (aka the whole flaming pile, debt and all), not Equity Value (likely $75-150M). Meanwhile... — read more
Lexmark is only worth $150 mil, or 10% of the original ptice?
"Ninestar said in an exchange filing on Wednesday that it has estimated the transaction price to range from $75 million to $150 million, based on Lexmark's latest operational status." WTF? So this thing is saddled with debt, and XRX is borrowing... — read more
Lexmark: –$743M loss in 2024

Xerox Public Debt is Junk
In addition to watching the stock price drop, it is also interesting to look at the price of Xerox's publicly traded bonds (CUSIP: 984121CB7, 984121CL5). They are trading this morning at about 47% of face value, making the yield over 16%. Moodys... — read more
Dividend yield is back up to 9.51%
Or 19.02% on the old payout from a month ago. It is wild that this will be back to double digits shortly after going down to 6%. When we get to $2, it will be 25% yield. Watch for SB to yank the dividend shortly.
Bankruptcy Chance now at 40%
I wonder if it'll hit $4.99 today?
Another 1,500–2,500 layoffs in 2025
Dear fellow survivors of the "Reinvention" era: Our brilliant leadership has decided the best way to save this sinking ship is to BORROW another $800M to fund the Lexmark acquisition - offering Senior Secured Notes. But here's the thing... who the... — read more
Can XRX afford to buy Lexmark
With Xerox increased debt load and declining share price, one has to wonder if the Lexmark deal is even feasible. The combination of Lexmark and Xerox is two drowning companies clinging to each other.
