CommVault Systems (CVLT) saw its stock price plummet 5.34% in Wednesday's trading session, as multiple analysts cut their price targets following the company's disappointing second-quarter results. The data management software provider's shares have been under pressure after reporting a decline in Q2 profit.
Several major financial institutions revised their outlook on CommVault. RBC Capital Markets lowered its price target significantly from $217 to $167, while Truist Securities reduced its target from $230 to $210. Wells Fargo also joined the downgrades, cutting its price target to $190 from $220. These revisions reflect growing concerns about the company's near-term performance and growth prospects.
The sharp decline in CommVault's stock price comes in the wake of its recent earnings report. A correction to a previous news article clarified that the company's shares have lost nearly 15% of their value over the past year, not four years as initially reported, highlighting the recent struggles faced by the data management solutions provider. The combination of weaker-than-expected quarterly results and subsequent analyst downgrades has evidently shaken investor confidence, leading to today's significant sell-off.
