# Box Inc. (BOX) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / Software. Price $35.19, market value $4.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 51.7×** (5-yr avg 160.1×, 3-yr avg 35.7×). Box Inc. trades at 51.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 160.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 20.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 3.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.9×.
- **Price / book: 253.2×**. The shares trade at 253.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 31.9×**. Enterprise value is 31.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.1%** (5-yr avg 7.5%). Free cash flow equals 8.1% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 7.5%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 1.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 79.5%**. Box Inc. keeps 79.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 9.4%**. 9.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 9.8%**. 9.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -38.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -41.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -41.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 8.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 8.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.0%** (3-yr 5.9%/yr, 5-yr 8.8%/yr). Revenue grew 8.0% over the last year, against 8.8% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -57.4%** (3-yr 113.0%/yr). Earnings per share fell 57.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 6.1%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 6.1% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.82**. A Z-score of 2.82 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
