Box Inc. predicted its first-quarter revenue to beat Street estimates due to higher demand for its online software products, causing its shares to gain 9% in extended trading.
The company beat fourth-quarter profit and revenue, lifted by its add-on services and the subscription of bigger companies to its products.

The content management platform contends with other tech heavyweights such as Microsoft Corp’s OneDrive and Alphabet Inc’s Drive.
