Xerox Corp. is in talks to potentially do a major deal with
Japan's Fujifilm Holdings Corp. as the U.S. document pioneer
struggles to reinvent itself.
The two companies, which already have a joint venture, are
discussing an array of possible deals that may or may not include a
change of control of Xerox, according to people familiar with the
matter.
A full takeover of the Norwalk, Conn., company isn't on the
table, one of the people said.
No deal appears imminent and one may not be reached.
Xerox shares, which topped out at more than $150 in the late
'90s, now trade at just over $30 amid a continued slump in sales
and profit. Xerox's market value stands at roughly $7.7 billion; it
also has more than $4 billion of net debt.
