What Xerox Holdings Corp. told the SEC could break it.
Xerox's most pressing exposure is its leverage: it carries a heavy, high-cost debt stack — including 13.00% senior notes due 2026 and 2030, an ABL and Term Loan B, plus financing for its Lexmark acquisition — that could weaken its financial condition and cut its flexibility. Its production is both outsourced and concentrated, relying significantly on third-party manufacturers, subcontractors and suppliers, with its largest in-house sites in Webster, New York (toner and components) and Juárez, Mexico (printers). And its costs are exposed to U.S. tariffs on imports from Mexico, China and Canada — incremental tariff-related costs already compressed its 2025 equipment and segment gross margins, and further trade measures could raise supply and end-product costs.
