Fundamentals
Dropbox Inc is set to release earnings this week after the U.S market close on Thursday the 20th of February 2020. Revenue is widely expected to increase year-over-year when the earnings for the quarter ended in December 2019 are released.
Some analysts expect the quarterly earnings from the year-ago quarter to increase by $0.14 per share and revenue to come in at $443.17 million.

- Price/Book: 10.09
- PEG: 1.47
- Shares outstanding: 415 million

Dropbox might also not be without some headwinds soon with talent leaving the organization, and competitor offerings poised to increase this earrings report will be closely watched.
