Box (BOX) Valuation Check After Recent Share Price Pullback

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Box (BOX) has slipped over the past month and quarter, even as its long term performance remains solid. That pullback has investors asking whether the current valuation fairly reflects its growth profile.

See our latest analysis for Box.

Over the past year, Box’s share price return has drifted lower, with the recent 7 day and 30 day share price returns both negative, even though the 5 year total shareholder return remains meaningfully positive. This suggests momentum has cooled while the long term thesis is intact.

If Box’s recent pullback has you reassessing growth names, it could be a good moment to explore other high growth tech and AI ideas through high growth tech and AI stocks.

With Box trading below analyst targets yet already delivering steady revenue growth, investors now face a key question: is the recent weakness a chance to buy into underappreciated upside, or a sign the market has fully priced in its future growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 18% Undervalued

Based on the most followed valuation, Box’s fair value of 36.25 dollars sits comfortably above the 29.71 dollars last close. This frames a sizable upside gap.

Ongoing investments in AI powered metadata extraction, no code workflow automation, and integration with leading AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI) and enterprise software ecosystems (Microsoft, Google, Salesforce) are deepening Box's value proposition, supporting premium pricing, reducing churn, and contributing to margin expansion over time.

Want to see what kind of steady revenue climb, margin trajectory, and future earnings multiple are baked into that upside case? The full narrative reveals the exact roadmap behind this seemingly modest growth outlook that still supports a premium valuation profile.

Result: Fair Value of $36.25 (UNDERVALUED)

However, escalating competition from hyperscalers and increasingly commoditized cloud pricing could erode Box’s premium positioning, challenging both its growth outlook and its margin expansion story.

Another Angle on Valuation

On earnings, the picture flips. Box trades at 22.8 times earnings, cheaper than both US software peers at 32.9 times and right in line with its own growth profile, yet still above a fair ratio of 18.4 times. Is that a cushion or a warning if growth stumbles?
