STARTEEPO stated that its affiliates and the fund own about 6.6 million shares of Xerox (excluding options), representing a total of 5.05% stake in the company.

The investment fund said that it has filed a Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and provided additional details regarding the investment.

A 13D filing compels all the major shareholders to disclose their holdings when they own more than 5% stake in the company. The filing requires the shareholder to disclose their identity, funding sources, and intentions.  

According to the SEC filing, Frantisek Bostl, the chairman of STARTEEPO, personally owned 1.54 million shares of Xerox while the investment fund held 5.2 million shares, bringing the combined ownership to 6.74 million shares.

‘We view Xerox as a deep value opportunity, and today it represents one of the largest positions in our portfolio, reflecting our strong conviction in the company’s long-term potential,” said František Bostl, Chairman at STARTEEPO Invest.

STARTEEPO’s Investment Rationale

The fund stated that Xerox makes an interesting investment as it provides opportunities supported by its ongoing operational advancements, new balance sheet initiatives, and its position within the industry. 

STARTEEPO further added that, from its perspective, the company has been undergoing a transition focused on stabilizing revenues, strengthening margins, and improving its financial profile over time. It also stated that even incremental progress across these segments may contribute to a more balanced market perception.

The fund said it intends to act as a "constructive, long-term shareholder" and may engage in discussions with Xerox's management and board regarding the company’s business strategy, capital structure, and opportunities to enhance shareholder value.

XRX Q1 Earnings

In April, Xerox reported its first-quarter earnings with revenue of $1.85 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $1.74 billion, while the adjusted net loss of $0.43 per share was wider than the Wall Street expectations of a loss of $0.27 per share.

For the full year 2026, the company reaffirmed its full-year guidance. Xerox expects revenue of over $7.5 billion, slightly missing the consensus of $7.58 billion, according to TheFly.

“I am genuinely optimistic about the future of this business and confident we are closer to an inflection point than the external narrative suggests. Reaffirming our 2026 guidance reflects that confidence,” said Louie Pastor, Chief Executive Officer at Xerox.
