Box is using funds to execute a stock buyback program.\n\"This kind of creates an opportunity where some investors that might be more short-term oriented will be able to sell their shares back to the company,\" Levie said in the \"Mad Money\" appearance. \"If you are more long-term oriented, you can ride the upside as we continue to scale to new levels as a company.\"\nLevie said KKR would play a role in helping to boost Box's bottom line, execute acquisitions, launch new products and expand on the international stage.\nBox shares tumbled more than 9% in April after the company announced it had accepted a $500 million investment from KKR. The deal was made as Box conducted a strategic review of the company.\nThe move likely ended the chance that Box would sell itself off to another buyer as it faced pressure from the activist investor Starboard Value. The hedge fund currently has an 8% stake in the company, according to FactSet.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":128877380,"gmtCreate":1624512054640,"gmtModify":1703838914360,"author":{"id":"3578370284068290","authorId":"3578370284068290","name":"Alvinhr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/862e688e9873129ce4a1f88a980568f1","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3578370284068290","authorIdStr":"3578370284068290"},"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128877380","repostId":1109439880,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":128189133,"gmtCreate":1624505910322,"gmtModify":1703838683820,"author":{"id":"3570516721299631","authorId":"3570516721299631","name":"Bishamonten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/419cbf51267fbe5f40485dff799f316e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3570516721299631","authorIdStr":"3570516721299631"},"htmlText":"Lets
