What's in the Offing for Xerox (XRX) This Earnings Season?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Xerox Holdings Corporation’s (XRX - Free Report) will report first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 21, before the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in the other one, delivering an earnings surprise of 15.8%, on average.

Expectations This Time Around

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Xerox’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.68 billion, indicating a decline of 1.6% from the year-ago actual figure. While equipment sales are expected to have been affected by continued supply chain disruptions, post-sale revenues are likely to have been negatively impacted by the delay in return of workers to office.

The consensus mark for earnings stands at 13 cents per share, indicating a 40.9% year-over-year decline. Incremental costs related to supply chain disruptions are likely to have weighed on the bottom line in the quarter.
