Commvault Shares Hit Two-Year Low After Below-Expectation Revenue Outlook
Commvault Systems saw its shares tumble more than 30% to a two‑year low after the data‑protection firm forecast fiscal 2026 fourth‑quarter revenue of $305‑$308 million, falling short of the $314 million analysts expected. The miss came despite a strong third‑quarter performance, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.17 and revenue of $314 million, up 19% year‑over‑year. Subscription revenue surged 30% to $206 million, and the company highlighted new AI‑driven offerings such as Conversational AI, Data Rooms, and the Cloud Unity platform.
