Xerox faces backlash over disappointing sales and product delays

In the United States, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Xerox Holdings Corporation by Robbins LLP, representing individuals who acquired the company's securities between January 25, 2024, and October 28, 2024. This legal action comes after Xerox disclosed significant challenges impacting its salesforce and product launches on October 29, 2024. The company reported that ongoing internal reorganization efforts had disrupted overall sales performance, leading to a shocking 7.5% decline in revenue year-over-year, falling to $1.53 billion, and a troubling net loss of $1.2 billion. Investors were informed that the company had been facing difficulties in selling older products, which in turn delayed the anticipated launch of new offerings. Specifically, the Chief Operating Officer acknowledged that the delays stemmed from forecasting issues associated with transitioning from older inventory. The revelation prompted a dramatic 17.41% drop in Xerox's stock price, closing at $8.49 per share, indicating a loss of investor confidence. The class action lawsuit seeks to address these grievances, allowing shareholders to apply to serve as lead plaintiffs until January 21, 2025. Serving as a lead plaintiff enables individuals to act on behalf of others in pursuing claims against the company for alleged misinformation and misrepresentation related to financial expectations. Under these circumstances, shareholders are afforded options; they may engage actively in the lawsuit or remain uninvolved. Robbins LLP, recognized for its commitment to shareholder rights since its inception in 2002, is dedicated to addressing these matters through contingency fee-based representation, ensuring that shareholders face no out-of-pocket costs for legal services. As the case unfolds, stakeholders are encouraged to monitor developments and consider their involvement based on the evolving timeline and details emerging in the litigation process.
