Levi & Korsinsky announced an investigation into whether Xerox adequately disclosed the effect of $105 million in IEEPA tariff receivables on its results and 2026 guidance. Xerox cut its adjusted operating income outlook on Oct. 29 to $450 million–$475 million, below the range it gave in July. The notice does not establish wrongdoing or a lawsuit, and no court finding is reported.
Levi & Korsinsky says it is investigating whether Xerox Holdings Corporation adequately disclosed the effect of $105 million in IEEPA tariff receivables on its reported results and 2026 outlook. The announcement follows Xerox’s Oct. 29 cut to its full-year adjusted operating income forecast, which the law firm says was as much as $130 million below the range Xerox announced in July.
Xerox lowered its full-year 2026 adjusted operating income outlook to $450 million to $475 million on Oct. 29, according to the investor notice. In July, the company had forecast a range of $555 million to $605 million. The revised range is $80 million to $155 million below the earlier range when comparing the respective endpoints; the notice characterizes the reduction as as much as $130 million, without specifying the comparison calculation behind that figure.
The notice says the July outlook included a $105 million pretax benefit tied primarily to recognition of IEEPA tariff receivables in the second quarter. Xerox’s Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 6, recorded a $105 million reduction to cost of sales in connection with those receivables, the notice states. It says related financing costs were recorded elsewhere over time.
Levi & Korsinsky says it is examining whether Xerox’s statements or omissions about the tariff-receivable accounting and its effect on guidance may have been misleading, and whether investors may have claims under securities laws. These are investigative questions raised by the law firm, not findings that Xerox violated the law. The announcement does not say a lawsuit has been filed or that a court has ruled on the matter.
How the Guidance Cut Affects Investors
The investigation notice puts the focus on how the tariff-related accounting benefit was reflected in Xerox’s reported operating income and forecast. Investors assessing the change will want to distinguish the accounting entry and guidance figures from the separate question of whether the company’s disclosures met legal requirements. The notice raises that question but does not answer it.
For shareholders, the announcement is relevant because it offers a route to have potential claims reviewed and could precede further legal action. It does not guarantee that a claim exists, that a case will be brought, or that investors will recover losses. The law firm says potential eligibility depends on factors including purchase dates and documented losses, rather than simply whether a person still owns Xerox shares.

July Forecast and October Revision
On July 30, Xerox Chief Financial Officer Chuck Butler said the company expected 2026 adjusted operating income of $555 million to $605 million, an increase of $105 million from its prior outlook. The notice quotes Butler as saying the improved outlook was “primarily because of the recognition of IEEPA tariff receivables in Q2.”
Xerox’s Aug. 6 Form 10-Q documented the $105 million reduction to cost of sales, according to the notice, which says the disclosure appeared under Note 12, “Debt.” The forecast was then lowered on Oct. 29. The source material does not include Xerox’s full explanation for the revised outlook or its response to the law firm’s investigation announcement.
“The investigation concerns whether Xerox may not have adequately disclosed how its tariff-receivable accounting shaped reported results and guidance.”
— Levi & Korsinsky
Questions About Xerox’s Disclosures
The notice does not provide evidence establishing that Xerox made materially false or misleading statements. It does not identify a filed complaint, a court decision, or a regulator’s finding. The core issue remains whether the company’s disclosures about the $105 million accounting benefit gave investors adequate information about its nature and effect on the outlook.
The supplied material also does not explain why Xerox lowered its forecast in October, provide the company’s response to the investigation notice, or detail how the notice’s stated “up to $130 million” reduction was calculated against the July range. The investigation’s scope and any eventual legal claims may depend on additional information, including relevant trading dates and company disclosures.
Investor Records and Possible Legal Steps
Levi & Korsinsky is asking investors who incurred Xerox-related losses to contact the firm for a review. Its notice says investors may collect brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, quantities, prices, and any subsequent sale information. It lists Joseph E. Levi, Esq., at (212) 363-7500 and provides an email contact in the original notice.
The firm describes the review as having no upfront cost and says no immediate action is required to remain eligible for an investigation. Whether it files a lawsuit or takes another step is not stated. Investors should watch for further company disclosures and any formal legal filings; the notice alone does not establish a deadline or an entitlement to compensation.
