Xerox Corp. plunged the most in more than six years Monday after the company reported first-quarter earnings that missed analysts’ estimates and lowered some full-year forecasts, underlining the challenges it faces ahead of a planned company split.

The shares dropped 13 percent to $9.68 at the close in New York, the steepest plunge since September 2009. The shares are down 9 percent this year.
