Shares of the publisher of the company’s namesake newspaper, The Boston Globe, and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette jumped for a second day yesterday after the Mexican telecommunications billionaire Carlos Slim boosted his stake in the company. Inmobiliaria Carso SA, controlled by the Slim family, bought 553,000 class A common shares Aug. 18, boosting his stake to 7.2 percent, from 6.9 percent. The Sulzberger family controls the Times Co. via a special class of stock. Additional purchases by a key investor often stimulate demand for a company’s shares and lift the price.
