$891,528
@ $107.01
Significance 4/10

CFO Gary Merrill sold 8,331 shares ($891,527.61) under 10b5-1 plan; holdings dropped to 72,775 shares (–10.3%)

Gary Merrill, CFO, executed two separate sales totaling 8,331 shares for $891,527.61, with the sales priced at $107.39 on 2026-05-22 and $106.70 on 2026-05-26. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-06-13, meaning the sales were scheduled, not discretionary. His post-transaction holdings of 72,775 shares represent a -10.3% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 81,106 shares. In his prior trades at CVLT, the 90-day average return was -30.5% to -31.1%, a pattern markedly different from his cross-ticker track record where 90-day returns averaged -6.4%. Current price is $108.09, near the transaction prices, and the stock is trading at a P/E of 54.59 with recent price momentum of +15.1% over 30 days and +24.9% over 90 days. The scheduled nature of the sales precludes timing-based interpretation.

Sanjay Mirchandani, President & CEO, sold 9,701 shares at $107.39 for $1,041,800.09, reducing his holdings by 2.9% to 322,544 shares. The sale occurred while CVLT stock is down -46.1% from its 52-week high of $200.68 but has rebounded +15.1% over the past 30 days. At his cross-ticker track record level, Mirchandani's 20 prior open-market sells show a 90-day well-timed rate of 85.00%, though his average 90-day return after sales was -18.6%, suggesting his sells have historically preceded declines.

At a P/E of 51.50 and recent quarterly revenue of $313.8M with annual growth of +18.9%, the valuation remains elevated relative to current price action.
