NEGATIVE IMPACT
Xerox's stock price dropped significantly due to the announcement of a 15% workforce reduction and the impact of rising Treasury yields on the tech sector.
The announcement of a workforce reduction typically signals cost-cutting measures, which can be perceived negatively by investors as a sign of underlying business challenges. Additionally, the broader tech sector was negatively impacted by rising Treasury yields, which often leads to a sell-off in growth stocks like Xerox. The combination of these factors likely contributed to the stock's decline.
