Brian White has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Box’s current market position. While Box reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter of FY26, with revenue and operating margins exceeding projections, the competitive landscape remains challenging. The company has shown promising growth with its Box AI and Enterprise Advanced offerings, which are gaining traction and contributing to revenue growth. However, the broader software sector is facing pressures, and the macroeconomic environment is uncertain, which tempers enthusiasm for a more aggressive rating.
Despite Box’s strong performance and strategic initiatives, including stock repurchase programs and a focus on AI, the company is still navigating a highly competitive market. The modest valuation of Box may attract value investors, but the fierce competition and external economic factors suggest a cautious approach. Therefore, Brian White maintains a Hold rating, reflecting a balanced view of the company’s potential and the risks it faces.
In another report released today, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $38.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 85 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of BOX in relation to earlier this year.
