Tech Powerhouse is about as phony a term as they come, no surprise given the source.

Always only been a matter of time, covid has just sped up the clock. Print volumes from Feb down by what, 70%? - You think those volumes are going to bounce right back to previous? Technical innovations? Other lucrative lines of business? Nope! Got $17 - I can buy a shower curtain or a share of xrx. Which one?

As John V has said, they were able to get the supply chain support their deployment up to Feb month and disruption starts only in March. Just with 1 out of 3 months of supply chain disruption, Xerox already suffered such great loss. Now, adding to the supply chain issue is the demand side. With an overall gloomy economic outlook for the rest of the year and businesses control spending across US and Europe, you can imagine what hind of losses Xerox will be facing in the remaining 3 quarters.

Now that XRX has entered into the 52-week low region, those who think it has hit bottom might be tempted to scoop some up, especially with the 5.87% yield.

However this 1Q earnings report has me thinking we are nowhere near bottom, and since XRX is not a buy-and-hold equity, the risk of investment loss is higher than ever.

How does this relate to layoffs? A tanking stock forces the mgmt team to take ever larger risks to appease everyone’s least favorite and rarely successful corporate raider.

Disclaimer: short XRX
