Commvault (CVLT) Valuation Check After 35% Three-Month Share Price Pullback

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Commvault Systems (CVLT) has quietly given back ground over the past quarter, with the stock down about 35% in the past 3 months and roughly 20% this year, even as revenue and earnings continue to grow.

See our latest analysis for Commvault Systems.

The recent pullback caps a sharp reversal in sentiment, with the 90 day share price return of minus 34.68 percent dragging the year to date share price return to minus 20.46 percent. Even so, the 5 year total shareholder return of 129.32 percent still reflects a strong long term compounding story rather than a broken one.

If Commvault’s volatility has you reassessing your tech exposure, it could be a good moment to explore other high growth tech and AI stocks that might better match your risk and return goals.

With double digit revenue and profit growth, but a sharp share price reset, investors now face a key question: is Commvault a mispriced compounder trading at a discount, or is the market already baking in its future growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 38% Undervalued

Compared with Commvault Systems’ last close of $120.99, the most followed narrative sees fair value much higher, framing the recent selloff as a potential mismatch between price and long term earnings power.

Rapid expansion and successful cross sell or upsell momentum within the SaaS (Metallic) platform evidenced by 63% SaaS ARR growth, a 45% increase in multi product customers, and 125% SaaS net dollar retention point to continued improvement in the quality and predictability of future revenues, directly supporting margin expansion and higher earnings visibility.

Result: Fair Value of $193.70 (UNDERVALUED)

However, shorter term contracts and ongoing margin pressure could still derail the upside case if renewal dynamics worsen or integration costs escalate.

Another Angle on Valuation

On simple earnings terms, the story looks very different. Commvault trades on about 66.5 times earnings, versus 31.5 times for the US software sector and a fair ratio of 32.9 times. That rich gap suggests real multiple downside risk if sentiment sours further, regardless of growth.
