Commvault (CVLT) Soars 6.1%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

Commvault Systems (CVLT) shares rallied 6.1% in the last trading session to close at $65.99. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 2.1% gain over the past four weeks.

The recent upswing can be attributed to the growing adoption of the company’s differentiated platform and portfolio among both customers and partners. The company is benefiting from strong demand for its’ software and SaaS offerings, increased multi-product adoption and through large deals which is helping the company take market share from competition.

This data-management software company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.63 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1.6%. Revenues are expected to be $195.3 million, up 6.5% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
