Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Box stock:

• 1. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We believe this could help clarify some confusion regarding how BOX is positioned vs. both One Drive and Sharepoint, which could shorten sales cycles. It is our view that this combi- nation could be more significant over time than the IBM relationship due to the prevalence of Office 365 in enterprise accounts." (7/17/2017)
• 2. Drexel Hamilton analysts commented, "We are taking a haircut to FY4Q numbers as a result of the intense competitive pressures. But we remain positive on Sprint’s massive spectrum portfolio, which positions it well to exceed growing capacity demands. Our TP remains unchanged at US$11 based on 7.0x our CY18E adj. EBITDA ex-leasing. Impact Verizon’s Feb 12 th unlimited launch, triggered universal unlimited. Though postpaid phone churn was originally expected to be ~5bps lower QoQ, increased competition caused it to remain flat. We note that the churn impact peaked during week 1 and then tailed off, reflecting Sprint’s continued leadership in price (Fig. 1). Current promos include: 1) a single line under Unlimited Freedom for US$50/mo for one year and US$60/mo after that; 2) two lines for US$90/mo; and 3) US$30 off any order placed online or by phone and a free activation for new customers. Meanwhile, prepaid momentum is building up, driven by Boost/Virgin. We are modelling a sequential improvement in trends with churn ~10bps lower QoQ, at the expense of Cricket and MetroPCS. We now expect FY4Q16 total revenues to go ex- growth at US$7.98bn with adj. EBITDA of US$2.37bn." (3/31/2017)
• 3. FIG Partners analysts commented, "Box delivered another strong quarter ahead of consensus, supported by good large deal momentum (64 deals >$100K), newer products (especially Governance, KeySafe, Zones), and the IBM channel (contributing to 18 six-figure deals). We're also pleased to see Box meet its positive FCF target in 4QFY17, while setting a positive FCF target for all of FY18 even as it accelerates sales investment. We remain bullish and continue to believe that IBM and Box's various newer products (Governance, KeySafe, Zones, Shuttle, etc.) provides a solid base for growth. There's also room for upside as even newer efforts gain traction (Platform, Relay) and international sales ramp (helped by Zones and sales investment). We're raising our revenue projections, though modestly increasing our loss per share projections reflecting the sales investment." (3/2/2017)
