The main question: the share price moved +34.0% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −57.4%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Box share price today? Box, Inc.'s share price was $43.01 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 19 weeks. That is 48.8% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 19 weeks in a row. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $21 and $43, and at that close it sat 98% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +324% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Box pay? Box, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Box on? Box is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks.

## Is Box profitable? Box, Inc. earned $13.1 M of net profit in the Jul 2026 quarter, +62.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $87.1 M. That is 4.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $8.1 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $87.1 M (−56.8% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.2 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +58.0% and revenue +9.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Box make, and is it growing? Box, Inc. reported $321 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +9.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 7.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $1.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.2 B. FY26 revenue was $1.2 B, +8.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.6% on average, against 7.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.6%, against +7.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −46.4%, against −6.8% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Box keep? Box, Inc.'s operating margin was 10.2% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 3.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −1.4% and 7.8%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Box's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 260% of Box, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $356 M of operating cash against $87.1 M of profit. After $6.1 M of spending on assets, $350 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Box's cash go? Box, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $13.4 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.4% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $13.4 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Box's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Box, Inc.'s P/E is 62.1×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 72% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 40.3×, over 3.8 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −57.4% while the price moved +34.0%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +19.5% a year; about +49.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −30.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Box business getting better or worse? Box, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking while ROE is steady at 44.2%, so growth and returns point different ways. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Box earn on its capital? Box, Inc. earned a ROE of 44% in FY26. That is up from a low of −58% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 42.4 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 7.4% net margin and 0.76× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 7.4% net margin × 0.76× asset turnover × 7.84× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 44.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 50.0% − 7.6% = +42.4 percentage points. The 7.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 50.0% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 39.2%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Box have too much debt? Box, Inc. has total debt of $555 M against shareholder equity of $146 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 3.80× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 6.70 in FY22 to 2.82 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Box shareholding pattern? 13.1% of Box, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 6.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Box from balance-sheet trouble? For Box, Inc., the Z-score is 2.32. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.32 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Box rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Box, Inc. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Software - Infrastructure. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Box compared with?
