    Listen to the news
    • Box, Inc. recently issued earnings guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 and the full fiscal year, projecting revenue of about US$329 billion for the quarter and US$1.29 billion for the year, alongside GAAP operating margins near 10.0% and 9.5% respectively, while flagging currency-related headwinds to revenue, margin and EPS.
