Why is Commvault Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Commvault is a data protection company. The company provides data protection, cyber resilience solutions, and management software across on‑premise, hybrid, multi‑cloud, and software‑as‑a‑service ("SaaS") environments.

During the relevant period, as alleged, Commvault stated it was "firmly positioned as a growth company" and that subscription ARR was "the best indicator of the company's growth." Commvault told investors it would achieve "$45 million of net new ARR" in the back half of the year.

As alleged, in truth, Commvault was experiencing a net new ARR mix shift toward SaaS, which contain lower average sales prices, leading to its inability to achieve previously stated ARR growth.

Why did Commvault's Stock Drop?

On January 27, 2026, Commvault released its fiscal Q3 2026 financial results. In pertinent part, Commvault revealed total net new ARR of $39 million, below the previously stated $45 million net new ARR growth. Commvault revealed that the miss was driven by an increasing mix shift toward SaaS, which had "a significant impact on ARR" since SaaS deals contain "lower ASPs . . . typically 2 to 3x [smaller than] what we would land a software customer with."

This news caused the price of Commvault stock to decline $40.23 per share, or 31%, from a closing price of $129.36 per share on January 26, 2026, to $89.13 per share on January 27, 2026.
