Box, Inc. remains a buy as revenue growth accelerates, underpinned by strong billings, RPO, and AI-driven product adoption. Q3 revenue grew 9% y/y to $301.1M, with suites at 64% of revenue, robust margins, and $61M in free cash flow. Net retention rate improved to 104%, driven by organic seat growth and higher-value Enterprise Advanced tier adoption.
Box remains a value-oriented, underappreciated enterprise software stock despite AI-driven market narratives. BOX trades at attractive valuation multiples—3.5x EV/FY27 revenue and 12.5x EV/FY27 FCF—while generating robust free cash flow. Management raised FY26 guidance, projecting $1.175 billion in revenue and $1.28 pro forma EPS, with double-digit billings and RPO growth.
Box is rated Hold with a $36 price target, implying a modest 13.2% upside versus current levels. Q3 results highlight stable cash generation, 9% revenue growth, and durable gross margins near 80%, but EPS softness persists due to tax normalization and R&D investment. Management is executing a strategic shift toward AI-driven content infrastructure, with new partnerships and a subscription-first model supporting long-term value creation.
Box posts solid revenues and billings growth despite a sharp earnings drop and offers upbeat Q4 and FY26 guidance.

Schrodinger's shares have declined sharply in recent weeks, due largely to soft guidance for the fourth quarter. There is little reason to believe that this is anything more than a temporary headwind caused by market conditions though.

The foot is still firmly on the gas when looking at the next few years of “AI” within large-cap tech, communication services and consumer discretionary. The one red flag that is waving is that after +25% returns for the S&P 500 in 2023 and 2024 and now a YTD return for the benchmark as of 11/15/25 of +15.65%, usually the 4th year is low-single-digits or negative. 2026 could be a tougher year, even with the expected 14% EPS growth rate next year, although this blog said the same thing at roughly the same time last year.
The nation's largest exhibitor AMC Entertainment saw revenue dip to $1.3 billion for the third quarter from $1.35 billion the year before on an 11% decline in the domestic box office.
