ROCHESTER, NY—  Xerox may be getting ready  for sale. Speculation is growing in the financial community .This  after  Xerox said it will be converted into a subsidiary owned by a newly created holding company.  This will make it easier to sell  Xerox as a whole or by divisions . Xerox  has already has said  that it will  sell its leasing unit. The company  will  also be  outsourcing some administrative and support functions. Hewlett Packard ( HP) in 2017  had  expressed interest in Xerox. This was  before the scuttled Xerox-Fujiflm merge. HP could end up with Xerox, or at least major  divisions.  It would   not  include the leasing division . One  thing that may scare HP away is Fujifilm’s  $1 billion lawsuit against Xerox  for breaking its acquisition deal, which is going ahead. There may  be a small chance that , that a deal  with Fujifilm can still be worked out. Carl Icahn one of Xerox's largest share holders is known for breaking up companies in order to get his money out.
