If you want to see what a dismal company Xerox is check its share price over the last fifty years. Even accounting for stock splits and dividends the performance is dire for a technology company.

For someone not inclined to dredge up all that data and do the calculations to factor in dividends, where can we take a look at it?

It's a bit of a miracle any technology company that old is still going after all these years. "Dismal" does not seem like an accurate way of characterizing it.

(for someone just taking a glance at the stock price chart, which doesn't take into account dividends, it looks like they were performing well financially until COVID?)

That's fair if you look at Xerox through the lens of "tech company returns"

there are many reasons for this, but I can only comment that they should have left GIS alone, and not let ACS divest. They'd have been stronger this decade with those performing assets.

so yeah, thanks Carl.
