Xerox Cutting Dividend in Half as It Buys Lexmark

By Colin Kellaher

Xerox Holdings is halving its rich dividend in connection with its $1.5 billion deal to buy printer maker Lexmark International.

Xerox on Monday said it will cut its annual payout to 50 cents, or 12.5 cents on a quarterly basis, from $1, starting with the dividend to be declared in the first quarter of 2025.

Xerox, which plans to fund the Lexmark deal with a combination of cash on hand and debt, said the dividend reduction will let the Norwalk, Conn., maker of printers and copiers pare its debt load while maintaining an above-market yield.

Based on Friday's closing price of $8.39, Xerox'x current $1 annual dividend offers a yield of 11.9%, which would drop to just under 6% at the new 50-cent annual rate.
