Box Inc (BOX) Receives a Rating Update from a Top Analyst


Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron maintained a Buy rating on Box Inc (BOX) yesterday and set a price target of $25. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $18.19.

Kidron noted:

“Box delivered a solid 3Q ahead of expectations. Positives include stabilization in expansion metrics, a strong YoY lift in large-deal activity, increased add-on attach rates, and continued YoY operating leverage. The results reinforce our confidence in Box’s ability to execute on its strategic solutions selling efforts and expansion into a more broadly positioned digital workplace platform (content management, work flow, collaboration, security…) for enterprises of all sizes. There’s still a lot of heavy lifting ahead in sustaining the expansion metrics and large-deal momentum, but we’re encouraged and see multiple levers to do this including salesforce productivity/expansion, new products (Skills, Shield…), and go-to-market expansion (new integrations/channel partners, international expansion…).”
