In other recent news, Dropbox reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, with adjusted earnings per share reaching $0.73, surpassing the consensus of $0.62. Revenue for the quarter was $643.6 million, slightly above the projected $639.05 million, marking a 1.4% year-over-year increase. The company also saw growth in its total annual recurring revenue, which rose 2.0% year-over-year to $2.574 billion, and an increase in paying users to 18.22 million from 18.12 million the previous year. Average revenue per paying user increased to $140.06 from $138.83 year-over-year.

Despite these positive earnings results, Citi analyst Steven Enders adjusted the price target for Dropbox shares to $30 from $31, maintaining a Neutral rating. Enders noted challenges in Dropbox’s core business, including a decline in annual recurring revenue and user numbers quarter-over-quarter. Dropbox’s revenue guidance for the coming year suggests a 3% year-over-year decline, influenced by reduced investment in non-core services and foreign exchange headwinds. Enders expressed concerns about Dropbox’s medium-term growth prospects and highlighted that significant stock buybacks might be supporting the stock price, though they could impact the company’s free cash flow estimates. Nonetheless, Dropbox announced a new $1.2 billion share repurchase program, reflecting confidence in its financial position and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
