The Managing Director, Commercial, Global BT, Chet Patel, said, “We’re focused on further digitizing and automating our processes to deliver standout customer experiences.”

The President of EMEA at Box, Sebastien Marotte, said, “We’re thrilled Box can be part of BT’s transformation journey, powering its complete content lifecycle in a single platform.”

Last month, Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of $27. The price target implies 2.5% upside potential from current levels.

The analyst is positive on Box’s progress in both product and sales execution and believes comfortable incremental leverage can be gained (and progress made towards FY24 targets of 12–16% revenue growth/mid-20% OM) as Box adds quota carrying sales people, more focus is put on Suites traction across all customers, and as new features strengthen the product portfolio (especially Shield and Sign).

Based on 4 Buys and 2 Holds, consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy. The average Box price target of $26 implies 1.3% downside potential from current levels.

BOX scores an 8 out of 10 on TipRanks’ Smart Score rating system, suggesting that the stock is likely to outperform market averages.
