Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Xerox Holdings Corporation is a global technology company focused on workplace solutions, operating primarily in the print, digital document, and business services industries. The company designs, manufactures, and services a broad portfolio of printing and imaging equipment while also providing managed services and software that support document-intensive business processes. Its core revenue drivers are the sale and leasing of printing hardware, ongoing supplies and maintenance contracts, and recurring service-based offerings.
Xerox serves enterprise, small and mid-sized business, government, healthcare, and education customers, with a strategic emphasis on long-term contractual relationships that generate recurring revenue. The company’s positioning is built around its installed base of equipment, global service infrastructure, and shift toward higher-margin digital and IT-enabled services. Founded in 1906 as The Haloid Photographic Company, Xerox became a pioneer of modern photocopying in the mid‑20th century and rebranded as Xerox Corporation in 1961. Over time, it transitioned from a research-driven hardware innovator to a services- and solutions-oriented company, becoming Xerox Holdings Corporation in 2019 following a corporate reorganization.
Business Operations
Xerox generates revenue primarily through two operating segments: Print and Other and Xerox Financial Services. The Print and Other segment includes the sale and leasing of multifunction printers and production printing systems, supplies such as toner, and post-sale services including maintenance, managed print services, and digital workflow solutions. This segment accounts for the majority of revenue and is supported by a large global installed base that drives recurring supplies and service income.
Xerox Financial Services (XFS) provides financing solutions to customers and channel partners, facilitating equipment sales through lease financing and managed asset programs. Operationally, Xerox conducts business through Xerox Corporation, its principal operating subsidiary, and maintains a mix of direct sales operations and indirect channel partners. The company controls proprietary print technologies, software platforms for document automation, and service delivery capabilities, while leveraging partnerships with IT service providers and cloud ecosystem participants.
Strategic Position & Investments
Xerox’s strategic direction centers on stabilizing and monetizing its core print business while expanding into IT services, digital transformation, and software-enabled workflow solutions. Growth initiatives emphasize managed services, automation, and security-enhanced document solutions, as well as cost discipline and operational efficiency to support cash flow generation. The company has publicly articulated a strategy focused on services-led growth and simplification of its operating model.
In recent years, Xerox has made targeted acquisitions to support this strategy, including CareAR, a remote visual support and augmented reality services company, which strengthened its digital services portfolio. The company has also divested non-core assets, including the sale of its Palo Alto Research Center business to refocus on commercial execution. Information regarding larger transformational acquisitions has been announced publicly at times, but where transactions are pending or subject to regulatory approval, outcomes remain data inconclusive based on available public sources.

Xerox is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, and operates across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and parts of Africa. The United States remains its largest single market, supported by significant operations in Western Europe and Canada, where the company maintains long-standing enterprise and public-sector customer relationships.
Internationally, Xerox maintains sales, service, and manufacturing or assembly operations across multiple continents, supported by both direct subsidiaries and channel partners. Its global footprint enables the company to service multinational clients and deploy standardized workplace solutions while adapting offerings to local regulatory and market requirements.
Leadership & Governance
