Mirchandani sells 21,608 shares at blended $103.43 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; stock rallied 13.2% in 30 days

Sanjay Mirchandani, President & CEO of Commvault, executed 2 separate sales totaling 21,608 shares for $2,234,896.52 on May 19-20, 2026, pursuant to a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-13. These are scheduled, not discretionary transactions. His post-transaction holdings of 306,927 shares represent a 6.6% reduction. The sales occurred within a context of recent price strength: the stock was trading at $106.00 current price, up 13.2% over 30 days and 16.5% over 90 days, despite sitting 47.2% below its 52-week high of $200.68. His prior trades at CVLT show mixed timing outcomes: recent March 2026 sales preceded gains (30-day returns of +18.4% and +18.0%), while earlier sales in November 2025 and February 2026 produced negative 90-day returns. However, this transaction is mechanically executed under an established plan, so timing attribution does not apply. Commvault's fundamentals show a P/E of 53.54 with annual revenue growth of +18.9%, indicating a high-growth, expensive valuation profile.

This sale reduces his post-transaction holdings to 332,529 shares, representing a -5.8% decrease from pre-transaction holdings of 352,919 shares. The transaction was conducted under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-13, making it scheduled rather than discretionary. Because the sale is governed by a structured trading plan established in advance, it reflects a predetermined execution strategy rather than a response to current market or business conditions.

CVLT CEO Mirchandani sells 20,942 shares for $2.6M via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan

Sanjay Mirchandani, President & CEO of Commvault, executed 7 separate sales totaling 20,942 shares for $2,557,181.93 across November 18-19, 2025, at blended average price of $122.11 per share. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2024-11-18 and therefore represents a scheduled, non-discretionary disposition rather than a discretionary trading decision. The sale reduced his holdings from 380,202 shares to 359,260 shares, representing a 5.5% reduction in his position. As a scheduled plan transaction executed exactly one year after adoption, this sale reflects contractual execution rather than a response to current market or business conditions.

Merrill Gary (CCO) sells 15,244 shares across 5 transactions totaling $2,713,648.57 at CVLT on 2025-09-12

Merrill Gary, Chief Commercial Officer of Commvault Systems, executed 5 separate sales totaling 15,244 shares for $2,713,648.57 on 2025-09-12, reducing his holdings by 17.5% from 87,081 to 71,837 shares. The transactions were executed across a narrow price band (blended average $178.01) while current stock price stands at $189.67, representing a 6.6% gap between execution and current valuation. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 15.00%, but at this ticker specifically, his 5 prior sales at CVLT (all on 2025-05-20) showed mixed results: 3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, yet the broader pattern shows marginal average returns of -0.3% and +0.5% at the 30- and 90-day horizons respectively. Given Commvault's elevated P/E of 104.21 relative to +18.6% annual revenue growth, and the insider's recent substantial liquidation of a material position, this warrants monitoring for context on whether the executive views current valuations as extended.
