Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Box, Inc. has a Debt-to-Equity Ratio of 3.35x, meaning for every dollar of shareholder equity, the company carries $3.35 in debt—a measure of financial leverage.

This is far above the sector median of 0.27x, placing Box in the 96th percentile among its technology peers, indicating substantially higher debt usage than most competitors. The available data shows no trend: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and historical values are all listed as N/A, so no direction can be inferred. With a very high level of debt but no trend information, the risk is elevated—the company is heavily leveraged, but without knowing whether leverage is rising or falling, an investor cannot assess momentum. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict only in that the extreme debt level alone would typically suggest a negative tilt; however, the absence of trend data makes it impossible to confirm deterioration or improvement, so the neutral stance is reasonable given incomplete information.
