Box Inc, traded under the ticker BOX, is experiencing some turbulence in its financials, reflected by a current stock price of $31.78. The company's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 40.23, indicating a growth orientation typical of a technology firm. Despite the recent drop, Box shows positive growth trends with a year-to-date price change of 26.04% and a 52-week increase of 21.75%. However, the firm's Piotroski F-Score of 9 suggests robust financial health, and the Beneish M-Score of -2.99 implies stability against earnings manipulation.

The company's financial resilience is further underlined by its Altman Z-score of 2.72, placing it in the 'grey' area, indicating moderate financial stress but not immediate bankruptcy risk. Despite being close to its 10-year high, the stock's current PS Ratio of 4.88 is nearing its 2-year peak.
In terms of insider activity, the recent months have seen insider selling activity, with no purchases recorded. This could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in short-term performance among insiders, or simply part of larger financial strategies by those insiders.
Overall, Box Inc (BOX, Financial) presents a mixed bag of potential and risk, with strong growth indicators countered by some financial stress signals. Investors should weigh these factors carefully in the context of their investment strategies and risk tolerance.
