<div id="readability-page-1"><div><h2>What the latest earnings and guidance tell you about Commvault Systems (CVLT)</h2> <p>Commvault Systems (CVLT) has drawn fresh attention after reporting fourth quarter and full year results that paired higher revenue with lower net income, alongside new fiscal 2027 guidance and an update on share repurchases.</p> <p>See our latest analysis for Commvault Systems.</p> <p>Commvault Systems' share price has moved sharply in recent weeks, with a 30.53% 1 month share price return and 20.11% 3 month share price return. However, a 16.75% year to date share price decline and 40.85% 1 year total shareholder return loss show that recent momentum is still working against a weaker longer term picture.</p> <p>After strong recent swings in Commvault following earnings, you may want to widen your watchlist through our screen of 60 profitable AI stocks that aren't just burning cash</p> <p>With revenue higher, earnings softer and fresh guidance in place, the latest move in Commvault raises a key question for you as an investor: is the stock still undervalued, or is the market already pricing in future growth?</p> <h2>Most Popular Narrative: 24.2% Undervalued</h2> <p>Commvault Systems' most followed narrative pegs fair value at $136.46, above the last close of $103.38, which frames the latest earnings reaction in a different light.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Rapid expansion and successful cross-sell/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.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Read the complete narrative.</p> <p>Curious what revenue mix, margin assumptions and future earnings multiple sit behind that fair value gap? The narrative leans on ambitious growth, richer recurring revenue and a premium valuation profile that many investors usually associate with top tier software stocks.</p> <p>The narrative uses a 9.08% discount rate and blends revenue growth, margin expansion and cash flow expectations into a single fair value estimate of $136.46. Against the $103.38 share price, it points to meaningful implied upside, but ultimately it is your call whether those underlying assumptions look realistic or too optimistic for your own risk tolerance and time horizon. <strong>Result: Fair Value of $136.46 (UNDERVALUED)</strong></p> <p>Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.</p> <p>However, those fair value assumptions can quickly look fragile if SaaS margin pressure persists, or if large, late-quarter deals and potential M&amp;A activity create bumpier earnings than expected.</p> <p>Find out about the key risks to this Commvault Systems narrative.</p> <h2>Another way to look at valuation</h2> <p>So far the focus has been on cash flow based fair value, which points to Commvault Systems trading below estimated future cash flow value at $166.46 per share and 37.9% below an internal fair value estimate. On that view, the SWS DCF model suggests the stock looks undervalued.</p> <p>The catch is that any DCF output depends heavily on long term revenue, margin and discount rate assumptions. If those inputs prove too optimistic, the implied upside could narrow quickly. The key question is how much weight to put on a model that relies on forecasts several years out.</p> <p>Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.</p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/4c783341-7e05-42e7-a4f0-8c1c989045cc/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTA1LTA5?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="746" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/4c783341-7e05-42e7-a4f0-8c1c989045cc/chart/dcf/query-ZGF0ZT0yMDI2LTA1LTA5"/><figcaption>CVLT Discounted Cash Flow as at May 2026</figcaption></figure><h2>Next Steps</h2> <p>If this mix of risks and rewards feels finely balanced, now is a good time to review the full picture and decide where you stand with 2 key rewards and 2 important warning signs</p> <h2>Looking for more investment ideas?</h2> <p>If Commvault is only one piece of your portfolio puzzle, now is the time to line up a few more ideas so you are not relying on a single stock.</p> <ul> <li>Target potential mispricings by scanning for quality companies that may trade below their estimated worth using the 51 high quality undervalued stocks.</li> <li>Strengthen your income stream by hunting for stocks that pair higher yields with staying power through the 12 dividend fortresses.</li> <li>Reduce portfolio stress by focusing on companies with cleaner balance sheets and sturdier fundamentals via the solid balance sheet and fundamentals stocks screener (44 results).</li> </ul> <p><em> This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature. <strong>We provide commentary based on historical data         and analyst forecasts only using an unbiased methodology and our articles are not intended to be financial advice.</strong> It does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell any stock, and does not take account of your objectives, or your         financial situation.
