Shares of Box Inc. (BOX) plummeted 7.8% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, as the cloud storage company faced pressure from multiple fronts.
The company reported its earnings for the quarter ended January 31, meeting analysts' expectations for adjusted earnings but warning that a stronger dollar would weigh on its profitability for the upcoming fiscal year 2026. Box forecast fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.13 to $1.17 per share, falling short of analysts' expectations of $1.83 per share due to currency headwinds.
