Xerox Holdings Corp expected to post a loss of 4 cents a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

Xerox Holdings Corp is expected to report a 4.9% revenue decrease to $1.864 billion from $1.96 billion a year ago for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, according to four analysts. Analysts expect a loss of 4 cents per share when results are reported on October 29.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

An expected loss and falling revenue suggest Xerox is selling less while its costs stay high, which can shrink the cash available to run the business, pay down borrowed money, or fund capital spending. Investors holding the stock face weaker profit per sale and possible pressure on the share price.

Analyst inference

Analysts rate the shares a hold, split between one buy, one hold and two sells. The median 12-month price target is $3.00, about 19.8% above the last close of $2.51. Estimates were unchanged over three months, signaling expectations have settled.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch for the October 29 report to see whether actual revenue and loss per share match the 4.9% decline to $1.864 billion and the 4-cent loss analysts expect. Confirmed
2. Watch whether another earnings miss repeats the pattern of the March 2026 quarter, when actual results came in well below what analysts had estimated for that period. Analyst inference
3. Watch for management guidance on capital spending, costs, and cash available, which would show whether Xerox is cutting investment or borrowing to protect its finances. Proposed
