BOX Gears Up to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Box, Inc. (BOX - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Dec 5.
For the fiscal third quarter, Box expects revenues of $261-$263 million, suggesting a 5% rise at the high end of the company's given range from the prior-year reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $262.03 million, indicating 4.8% growth from the prior-year quarter's reported value.
Box anticipates non-GAAP earnings per share of 37-38 cents. The consensus mark for the metric is pegged at 38 cents, suggesting an improvement of 22.6% from the previous fiscal year’s quarterly reported figure. Also, the bottom line has been unchanged over the past 30 days.
Earnings of BOX surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 8.38%.
Key Factors to Note
Box’s performance for the fiscal third quarter is likely to have benefited from the growing adoption of content cloud solutions by new and existing customers. Also, its strength in Enterprise Plus Suites is expected to have bolstered its attach rate during the to-be-reported quarter.
Strengthening multi-product offerings and deeper integrations might have contributed well in the underlined quarter.
Strengthening the momentum of Box AI might have been a positive
Growing momentum across government and private organizations is expected to have acted as a catalyst in the quarter under review.
Rising demand for digital transformation, data security, compliance and privacy in businesses is expected to have aided the to-be-reported fiscal quarter’s performance.
This apart, go-to-market strategies, including price optimization and packaging, might have supported Box’s performance in the fiscal quarter under review.
However, rising cloud competition from players like Google and Dropbox is expected to have remained a concern in the fiscal third quarter.
Mounting expenses related to investments in cloud infrastructure, sales and marketing and administration are likely to have dented profit margins in the quarter under discussion.
