CVLT stock fell 17.27% to $123.51 on July 28, 2026, despite reporting strong first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings and revenue that beat expectations. The stock opened at $149.26 and quickly declined throughout the session, reaching a low of $123.00 before closing near the session low. The sharp sell-off suggests investors may have taken profits after a recent rally or were unimpressed by the long-term outlook despite the company’s strong performance.
What Happened
Commvault reported Q1 fiscal 2027 results that exceeded expectations, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.42, beating by $0.26, and revenue of $314.13 million, up $3.69 million from forecasts. The company reported record subscription revenue of $267 million, a 16% year-over-year increase, and subscription ARR of $1.054 billion, up 22% year-over-year. Free cash flow rose 71% year-over-year. The company also announced an expanded partnership with Microsoft and affirmed its full-year sales guidance of $1.300 billion to $1.310 billion. Despite these positive developments, the stock dropped sharply as investors assessed the valuation and forward-looking guidance.
What The Data Shows
The stock traded with unusually high volatility, opening near $149 and dropping to $123.00 by the close. Volume was 0.1 million shares, which is 0.1 times the 3-month daily average. The stock is currently trading within its 52-week range of $71.75 to $200.68 but has declined from its recent price of $149.71 to $149.46 over the past eight sessions.

What To Watch
Commvault has no upcoming earnings date in the immediate future. Investors should monitor the company’s forward guidance and analyst coverage, particularly as Truist Securities and Oppenheimer have both raised their price targets to $182 and $175 respectively.
