On CAPS, 88% of the 620 members who have rated Xerox believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

A couple of months ago, one of those Fools, All-Star fcfroic, offered a balanced take on the opportunity:

This is not your Dad's [Xerox]. The business has become a services business with a high level of recurring revenue. The technology business, the moniker applied to the legacy copier business is subject to considerable Euro exposure and foreign currency translation issues, its operating margins [expanded sequentially] in the most recent quarter despite the revenue shortfall. Most of the debt funds the leasing of office equipment.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Xerox may not be your top choice.
