Activist investor Frantisek Bostl and his fund STARTEEPO Invest have raised their Xerox position to 6.84%, up from 6.22% in early June. On July 9–10, the group purchased 800,000 shares at prices ranging from $2.78 to $2.81, spending roughly $2.2 million. This marks the third filing in two months that shows a growing stake, underscoring the activist's commitment to engaging management on strategy and capital allocation. The buying arrives with Xerox trading near $2.82—well below its 52-week highs—and follows a mixed first quarter that saw ongoing GAAP losses but reaffirmed guidance. The larger stake gives the activist more leverage to push for changes, particularly after the company recently launched a retention plan for critical talent.
