NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 29, 2026 — Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) today announced its 2026 third-quarter results.
"This quarter, Print equipment revenue grew and adjusted operating margin doubled as we continued to execute against our three priorities: stabilize revenue, increase profitability and reduce leverage," said Louie Pastor, chief executive officer at Xerox. "We are seeing results in the areas where we have focused our execution, but the headwinds affecting our outlook have intensified, creating greater near-term pressure than we expected. As a result, we are lowering our full-year adjusted operating income and free cash flow guidance.9 9We're responding with actions and cost measures to mitigate these pressures, improve profitability, and preserve cash, including the suspension of our common and preferred dividends9, while maintaining our focus on reducing debt."
