BETA Technologies launches IPO of 25 million shares priced $27-$33
Investing.com - Piper Sandler upgraded CommVault Systems (NASDAQ:CVLT) from Neutral to Overweight on Monday, while raising its price target to $200.00 from $195.00. The new target represents significant upside potential, with analysts’ targets ranging from $176.80 to $230.00. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 82% and has delivered robust revenue growth of 21.6% over the last twelve months.
The upgrade follows recent market checks and reflects the firm’s confidence in CommVault’s position as a "Gen-Z player" in the backup and recovery space. Piper Sandler noted the company is experiencing "durable demand trends" as market needs shift away from "Modern Age" requirements. The company’s solid financial health is reflected in its strong balance sheet, with more cash than debt, as highlighted in InvestingPro’s analysis.
The research firm highlighted CommVault’s platform flexibility across consumption models as a key advantage, allowing it to address various Gen-Z market needs effectively. This positioning is creating a "net-benefit" for the company in the competitive landscape.
Piper Sandler identified the upcoming SHIFT event in November as a potential catalyst for the stock. The firm made its rating change following a recent pullback in CommVault shares over the past few weeks.
The upgrade was further supported by CommVault’s increasingly competitive offerings, successful go-to-market investments, and its subscription transition, which Piper Sandler believes is providing "increased visibility" for the business.
