Instead, Wall Street turned a collective glare upon the main rival for HP’s most profitable division. Shares of printer
maker Lexmark opened Tuesday’s trading almost 12 percent below their previous close and finished the regular
session down 9.4 percent on fears that the company would suffer from the defection of one of its leading customers.”
