AI Analysis

I look for businesses that earn high returns on capital without heavy debt and sell at a sensible price. Box is a cloud content management platform with 2,912 employees, and revenue has moved from $1.0B in fiscal 2024, the year ended 2024-01-31, to $1.2B in fiscal 2026, the year ended 2026-01-31. In fiscal Q2 2027, the quarter ended 2026-07-31, revenue was $321.1M and net income was $19.2M. That is real progress over fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2025-07-31, when revenue was $294.0M and net income was $13.4M. But profits are uneven: fiscal 2025, ended 2025-01-31, produced $244.6M of net income, while fiscal 2026 produced $115.4M. The FairStock figures show a 70.23% ROE, but only 5.18% ROCE, debt-to-equity of 3.80, and an Altman Z-Score of 1.99; that tells me returns are not clean or durable enough. Free cash flow is the bright spot: $349.7M trailing, a 6.8% FCF yield. Yet at the 2026-10-13 close of $37.54, the FairStock P/E is 55.21, P/B is 176.21, EV/EBITDA is 31.59, and the Graham Number is $4.05—a margin of safety of -826.91%. The 21/100 FairStock Score and PEG of 1.29 reinforce that the market already pays dearly for a Stalwart with 5.9% revenue growth. I would want a much lower price or clearer returns on capital before calling this a value opportunity.

In plain English: Box sells cloud content management software that helps organizations manage and share files securely. The business is growing revenue and generating cash, but profits have been uneven and it uses a lot of debt. At the recent close of $37.54, the price looks expensive compared with the company’s earnings and the value of its assets minus liabilities.
