With operations in more than 180 countries, Xerox Corporation (XRX – Analyst Report) is a leader in the development, manufacture, marketing, servicing and financing of document equipment globally. Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, this century-old firm has helped organizations transform the way they manage their business processes and information.

XRX has beaten earnings estimates in two of the last four quarters, making for an average positive surprise of 3.9%. However, quite like its peers in the document industry, XRX is increasingly grappling with decreased demand for paper-related systems and products. With rising competition gradually weighing on margins, investors have been eagerly waiting for the company’s latest earnings report.
