Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
On Friday, Citi analysts, led by Steven Enders, adjusted their price target on Dropbox stock (NASDAQ:DBX) to $32.00, up from the previous $32.00, while maintaining a Neutral stance on the company’s shares. The adjustment followed Dropbox’s recent financial performance, which Enders described as solid, noting that the company exceeded revenue expectations and posted a significant increase in EBIT to $22.4M, up from $10M in the previous quarter. With a market capitalization of $8.55 billion and impressive gross profit margins of 82.15%, Dropbox has demonstrated strong operational efficiency, according to InvestingPro data.
Dropbox’s Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) remained consistent year-over-year on a constant currency basis but surpassed forecasts by $18M, driven by lower-than-anticipated churn. This improvement was attributed to enhanced execution in acquiring and retaining both individual consumers and teams, with an addition of 90,000 more than expected. The company’s financial health score is rated as GREAT by InvestingPro, which has identified 7 additional key investment tips for this stock.
Despite the positive outcomes, Dropbox has chosen to maintain its revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025 on a constant currency basis and has only slightly increased its reported revenue guidance by $10M. The company also continues to anticipate approximately 300,000 customer churns by the end of 2025. Enders interpreted these conservative projections as a measure to account for potential macroeconomic risks, while also suggesting that there could be room for upside, particularly from Dropbox’s product Dash.
In his comments, Enders acknowledged the improved go-to-market execution observed in the first quarter but expressed caution regarding the near-term potential for monetization. The revised price target of $32 is based on a 9x multiple of the company’s estimated fiscal year 2026 free cash flow per share.
In other recent news, Dropbox Inc. reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, which showed a mixed performance. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) exceeded analyst expectations at $0.70, surpassing the forecasted $0.63. However, Dropbox’s revenue fell short, coming in at $624.7 million against a projected $630.83 million. Despite the earnings beat, the revenue miss was accompanied by a 1% year-over-year decline, which may have contributed to investor concerns. The company also experienced a sequential decrease in paying users by 60,000, although its non-GAAP operating margin improved significantly to 41.7%. For the full year 2025, Dropbox anticipates revenue between $2.475 billion and $2.490 billion and expects a decline in paying users by approximately 300,000. Additionally, Dropbox has raised its non-GAAP operating margin guidance to 38-38.5% and plans to continue investing in its Dash platform. These developments reflect Dropbox’s ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and product innovation amidst a challenging macroeconomic environment.
