Is This 7% Yield as Shaky as Its Stock?

Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club

I'm not a fan of Xerox (Nasdaq: XRX). In fact, I have so little confidence in the stock that I recently recommended a bearish position on it in my newly rebranded VIP Trading Service, Trigger Event Trader.

Revenue is at its lowest level in at least a decade. Sales dropped 12% in the first quarter. And the company hasn't been profitable since 2020.

But the stock does pay a juicy $0.25 per share quarterly dividend, which equates to a 7.2% yield.

Can Xerox continue to offer such a high payout to shareholders?

To its credit, despite plummeting sales and profitability, Xerox is cash flow positive.

In 2023, it generated $649 million in free cash flow and paid shareholders $165 million in dividends for a very low payout ratio of 25%. This year, free cash flow is forecast to dip to $613 million, and the payout ratio is projected to inch up above 28%.

One company is already generating record profits. In fact, Wall Street projects one $30 stock will rise to $280 in just 18 months... all thanks to a HUGE mistake by Russia's president. Here's what you need to know...

However, Xerox cut its dividend slightly in 2017. That shows that management can and will slash the dividend if necessary.

So we have a low payout ratio... but a management team that has cut the dividend in the past.

With those two factors in mind, what grade would you give Xerox?
