Appian stands out as a business process re-engineering software company benefiting from long-standing AI and automation tailwinds. Despite a ~30% YTD decline, APPN's modest valuation and recent Q1 beat-and-raise reinforce its 'growth at a reasonable price' thesis. Q1 results highlighted improved net expansion rates and sales productivity, supporting confidence in APPN's operational momentum.
Key Takeaways Appian embeds AI agents within business processes to improve reliability and enterprise outcomes.Appian helped a telecom automate ad compliance reviews with expected 98% accuracy levels.APPN pairs agentic AI with data fabric to enable controlled access across enterprise systems. Appian Corporation (APPN - Free Report) aims to improve the reliability of enterprise AI by embedding agentic capabilities within business processes. While many companies are still evaluating how to generate returns from AI investments, Appian is positioning its platform around practical use cases where accuracy, compliance and operational efficiency are critical.
The company's strategy centers on deploying AI agents within structured business processes rather than allowing agents to operate independently. This approach is designed to improve reliability and help enterprises apply AI to complex workflows that involve large volumes of data, regulatory requirements and business-critical decisions. Appian believes that process controls, data access and monitoring capabilities can improve the effectiveness of AI deployments while reducing the risk of errors.
In the first quarter of 2026, customer adoption provided early evidence of the potential benefits. A telecommunications company expanded its use of Appian to automate compliance reviews across digital advertising operations. By combining AI agents with Appian's data fabric and process framework, the customer expects the solution to verify thousands of advertisements daily, achieve roughly 98% accuracy and reduce resource requirements by 33%.
The broader opportunity extends beyond a single use case. Appian's agentic AI capabilities are supported by data fabric technology that allows enterprises to access information across multiple systems without moving data. This structure can help organizations deploy AI across larger workflows while maintaining visibility and control.
Enterprise customers remain focused on return on investment, and Appian's strategy reflects that reality. Rather than promoting AI as a standalone solution, the company is emphasizing measurable operational outcomes, including labor savings, faster processing and improved accuracy. If customers continue to realize these benefits, agentic AI could become an increasingly important driver of enterprise software spending and strengthen Appian's position in the evolving AI market.
Appian's Competitive LandscapeAppian continues to expand its AI and process automation capabilities as enterprises look to modernize workflows and improve operational efficiency. However, competition remains intense as Pegasystems Inc. (PEGA - Free Report) and Salesforce Inc. (CRM - Free Report) continue investing in AI-driven automation, workflow transformation and enterprise software modernization.
Pegasystems continues to gain traction with an AI-powered workflow design platform that helps organizations redesign business processes and modernize legacy applications. The company is increasingly positioning AI within structured workflows, emphasizing reliability, scalability and long-term enterprise transformation. Growing interest in legacy modernization and workflow redesign is also supporting demand for Pegasystems’ platform.
Meanwhile, Salesforce is expanding the adoption of agentic AI across customer service, sales, marketing and broader enterprise operations. Continued investments in AI agents, automation tools and data integration capabilities are helping customers automate workflows and improve productivity. Salesforce is also embedding AI functionality across a wider range of enterprise applications, further strengthening its position in the evolving AI software market.
As competitors strengthen their AI-driven automation and enterprise transformation offerings, Appian faces increasing pressure to differentiate its platform and sustain growth in a rapidly evolving market.

Matthew W. Calkins, CEO and founder of Appian (APPN 2.83%), reported an open-market sale of 50,000 shares for a total of approximately $1.21 million on June 8, 2026, according to a SEC Form 4 filing.

This transaction accounted for 2.75% of his direct holdings, with 1,769,144 shares remaining under his direct control post-sale.Did the transaction impact any indirect or derivative holdings?
No indirect entities or derivative securities were involved; the entire disposition was executed from Calkins's direct ownership account.How does this sale compare to Calkins's historical activity?
Over the past two years, this is the only open-market sale reported, with prior filings limited to administrative events and no other open-market disposals in this period.Company overviewMetricValueRevenue (TTM)$762.69 millionNet income (TTM)$0.89 millionEmployees2,033Company snapshotAppian provides a low-code automation platform that enables rapid software development, automating workflows, forms, data structures, reports, and user interfaces; it also offers professional services and customer support.The company generates revenue through software subscriptions, platform licensing, and associated consulting and support services.Key customers include organizations in financial services, government, life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation sectors.Appian is a technology company specializing in low-code software platforms that streamline complex application development for enterprise clients. With a global presence and a diverse client base, Appian leverages automation to deliver efficiency and scalability for organizations across multiple industries.
What this transaction means for investorsThe June 8 sale of Appian stock by company CEO and founder Matthew Calkins came at a time when shares had fallen significantly from their 52-week high of $46.06 reached in 2025. Even so, his disposition is not a red flag for investors.
Calkins’ sale was a non-discretionary transaction, executed automatically as part of a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which the CEO adopted in March of 2026. Such plans are often implemented by insiders to avoid accusations of trading based on insider information.
Moreover, Calkins retained 1.8 million shares after the disposition. This indicates he maintains a sizable equity stake in the company he founded.
Appian stock is down due to investor concerns that artificial intelligence will take business away. In addition, while the company reported a strong 21% year-over-year increase in first-quarter revenue to $202.2 million, it forecasted only 13% to 14% growth in 2026 compared to 2025. This disappointed Wall Street and contributed to fears of AI’s impact on Appian’s business.

Click here to learn how to join our investigation and obtain additional information or contact us at [email protected] or toll-free: 866-264-3995. There is no cost or obligation to you.
Huntsman shareholders will receive 0.5476 shares in Olin for every one (1) share of Huntsman. Upon completion of the transaction, Olin shareholders will own approximately 54.5% and Huntsman shareholders will own approximately 45.5% of the combined company.
Huntsman insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing transactions for Huntsman by imposing a significant penalty if Huntsman accepts a competing bid. We are investigating the conduct of the Huntsman board of directors, and whether they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders.
We specialize in shareholder litigation involving buyouts, mergers, and individual shareholder rights. For more information, please feel free to call us. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
Key Takeaways Olin and Huntsman agreed to an all-stock merger of equals to form OlinHuntsman in 2027. Over $400M in synergies and integration benefits expected, with most realized within 24 months. Huntsman shareholders will own 45.5% of the combined company after the deal closes. Olin Corporation (OLN - Free Report) and Huntsman Corporation (HUN - Free Report) have inked a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger of equals, creating a new company that will be named OlinHuntsman Corporation. The transaction will establish a leading North American integrated chemical producer, with combined 2025 revenues of approximately $12.5 billion and a broader global manufacturing footprint spanning North America, Europe and Asia.
The merger brings together Olin's large-scale chlor-alkali and feedstock capabilities with Huntsman's specialty downstream products, polyurethane systems and advanced materials businesses. Management expects the combination to create a stronger, more resilient company with enhanced scale, improved cost competitiveness and greater flexibility to serve customers across multiple end markets.
Transaction DetailsPer the deal terms, Huntsman shareholders will receive 0.5476 shares of Olin for each HUN share they own. Following completion of the transaction, existing Olin shareholders are expected to own approximately 54.5% of the combined company, while Huntsman shareholders will hold the remaining 45.5%.
The exchange ratio was determined using the companies' trailing 30-day volume-weighted average share prices as of June 12, 2026. Per Huntsman, the structure provides a premium to Huntsman shareholders while maintaining fairness for Olin investors by reducing the impact of recent market volatility.
The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to shareholder approvals, regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions.
Benefits of the MergerThe combined company will become a $12 billion-plus North American chemicals leader, supported by a significant manufacturing presence along the U.S. Gulf Coast and additional operations in Europe and Asia.
Olin's Winchester ammunition business will remain a key operating segment within OlinHuntsman, continuing to serve sporting, law enforcement and military customers.
The merger combines Olin's cost-advantaged chlorine, caustic soda and electrochemical unit production capabilities with Huntsman's higher-value downstream formulations and specialty products. This vertical integration is expected to improve operating efficiency, strengthen margins and provide more opportunities to convert low-cost feedstocks into value-added materials.
Olin and Huntsman have identified more than $400 million of total cost synergies and integration benefits. These include more than $300 million of cost synergies from purchasing efficiencies, raw material integration, operational optimization and SG&A savings. Most of these benefits are expected to be realized within 24 months, with full realization anticipated by the end of the third year following the merger. An additional $100 million of raw material integration benefits is expected beginning in 2031. The combined company also expects to generate approximately $125 million of cash tax benefits through the accelerated utilization of net operating losses.
Per Olin’s president and CEO Ken Lane, who will serve as the CEO of OlinHuntsman, the transaction combines Huntsman's differentiated formulations and advanced materials capabilities with Olin's world-scale chemical assets to create a company with greater flexibility, stronger cash generation and the ability to pursue opportunities that neither company could fully capture independently.
Per Huntsman, the merger creates a stronger global competitor capable of delivering greater value to shareholders, customers and employees under the current scenario of increasing globalization, changing trade policies, and evolving supply chains.
Shares of OLN have gained 22.5% while HUN is up 26.1% in the past year compared with the industry’s 10% rise.

GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, today announced company driver Greg Smith, a U.S. Air Force veteran, has been selected as this year’s Ride of Pride driver.
Recognizing military veterans is a longstanding tradition at the carrier. Ride of Pride is an annual initiative started by Daimler Truck North America to honor military service and sacrifice. Daimler's Cleveland, North Carolina manufacturing plant produces specially decorated Freightliner Cascadia trucks that serve as rolling tributes across the country. Since the program began in 2001, Schneider has received 15 Ride of Pride trucks from Freightliner, the most of any carrier.
Smith received his new truck on May 23 and has already represented Schneider at an event in Washington, D.C. This year’s truck honors all those affected by the events of September 11, 2001, serving as a tribute to their memory and the sacrifice that followed.
“In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be selected to drive a Ride of Pride truck,” said Smith. “Schneider has been given a great responsibility to honor all those affected by September 11th, our military, the civilians who lost their lives that day, the surviving family members, firefighters, police officers, and our nation.”
Smith served more than 21 years in the U.S. Air Force before transitioning to a career as a truck driver. He joined Schneider in 2017, where he hauls on a Dedicated account and is a driver instructor. During his military career, Smith held a variety of leadership roles, including serving as a First Sergeant responsible for more than 500 airmen, and he spent years supporting military honors programs that left a lasting impact on him.
Smith said Schneider’s strong alignment with military values helped make the transition to civilian life easier.
“When I saw Schneider’s focus on safety and integrity, it felt familiar,” he said. “You’re surrounded by people who understand where you come from. You’re not just a number here, you belong.”
Schneider is consistently recognized as a top military-friendly employer in the trucking industry. Today, 24% of the company’s associates have military experience.
“Ride of Pride reflects our responsibility to honor those who have worn the uniform and support them as they build meaningful careers at Schneider,” said Schneider Executive Vice President and Group President of Transportation and Logistics and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jim Filter. “With driver and veteran Greg Smith behind the wheel, we’re proud to carry that legacy forward while recognizing the leadership, discipline and sense of purpose veterans bring to our organization every day.”
Smith will participate in major events across the country, including Wreaths Across America, Fourth of July celebrations and observances tied to the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, using the truck as a platform to connect with survivors, first responders, veterans, Gold Star families and communities nationwide.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Commvault Systems (CVLT - Free Report) .
Commvault currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.82, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 17 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.82 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 17 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 10 are Strong Buy, representing 58.8% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for CVLT
Check price target & stock forecast for Commvault here>>>
The ABR suggests buying Commvault, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABRAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Is CVLT Worth Investing In?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Commvault, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.19.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Commvault. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Commvault.
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2026) - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, a nationally recognized investor-rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against CommVault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) and certain of its officers.
This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired CommVault securities between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: bgandg.com/CVLT.
CommVault Case Details
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
Defendants provided investors with misleading guidance and projections regarding CommVault's anticipated annual recurring revenue ("ARR") growth for fiscal year 2026, including projections related to new net ARR growth; Defendants simultaneously disseminated overly positive statements while concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of the Company's ARR growth environment; Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company's ARR growth guidance failed to properly account for critical variables, including the type of sales driving ARR performance; and as a result, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis and were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.What's Next for CommVault Investors?

LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming July 17, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Commvault Systems Inc. (“Commvault” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CVLT) securities between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR COMMVAULT INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.
What Happened?
On January 27, 2026, Commvault published third quarter 2026 fiscal results, including annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) of 22% and a total net new ARR was $39 million, falling short of the prior quarter’s guidance for $45 million of net new ARR for the quarter. Management revealed in the accompanying earnings call that the variation was due to product mix, including increased SaaS deals in the quarter.
On this news, Commvault’s stock price fell $40.23, or 31.1%, to close at $89.13 per share on January 27, 2026, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded the impact that different types of sales would have on its ARR growth; (2) the variation in net ARR growth is strongly based on the type of sale Commvault is making, thus, the Company’s projected net new ARR should not have been determined without properly factoring in sale type; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Commvault securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 17, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Commvault Projected $45 Million in Quarterly Net New ARR Growth, Then Delivered $39 Million as Concealed SaaS Mix Dynamics Allegedly Made the Target Unachievable From the Start
, /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt highlights the contrast between Commvault Systems, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: CVLT) escalating ARR growth promises and the quarter that shattered them, costing investors $40.23 per share in a single session. Find out if you can recover your Commvault investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.
A securities class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased CVLT between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026. Shares collapsed 31% on January 27, 2026, falling from $129.36 to $89.13. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 17, 2026.
The Promise: Repeatedly Raised Projections
The lawsuit contends Commvault built a narrative of accelerating momentum through progressively higher ARR targets:
April 29, 2025: Management set initial FY26 total ARR growth at 16%-17% and subscription ARR growth at 22%-23% July 29, 2025: The Company raised total ARR growth guidance to 18% and established a $40 million quarterly net new ARR baseline October 28, 2025: Management raised guidance again to 18%-19% total ARR growth and increased the quarterly net new ARR target to $45 million, stating investments were "paying off" Each increase reinforced the message that Commvault was outperforming expectations and accelerating growth.
The Reality: A $6 Million Gap the Market Never Saw Coming
On January 27, 2026, the Company reported Q3 FY2026 net new ARR of $39 million, missing the $45 million projection by $6 million. The action claims the explanation revealed a fundamental flaw in the guidance itself: 70% of net new ARR came from SaaS deals that land at average selling prices 2 to 3 times lower than term software licenses. Additionally, longer-duration term deals diluted ARR calculations further. As alleged, these were not new dynamics but structural features of the Company's own sales model that existed when the $45 million target was set.

The complaint asserts that management knew SaaS deals carried materially lower ASPs yet continued to raise ARR projections without disclosing this sensitivity to investors.
What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap
Plaintiffs contend that the $45 million target was set in October 2025 despite management's awareness that the accelerating SaaS mix would mathematically suppress ARR figures. The action claims the Company's guidance "failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale," creating an artificial impression of steady, predictable growth. When the structural gap was finally disclosed alongside Q3 results, the market repriced CVLT shares immediately.
"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The repeated upward revisions to Commvault's ARR guidance, followed by a miss attributed to factors allegedly known at the time the guidance was set, raises serious questions about disclosure adequacy." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the CVLT Lawsuit
Q: What specific misstatements does the CVLT lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges Commvault made materially false or misleading statements regarding its ARR growth trajectory for fiscal year 2026, repeatedly raising guidance without disclosing that the accelerating SaaS deal mix would mathematically suppress net new ARR figures due to lower average selling prices. When the true state was revealed on January 27, 2026, the stock price declined 31%.
Q: When did Commvault allegedly mislead investors? A: The class period runs from April 29, 2025 to January 26, 2026. During this period, management raised ARR growth guidance on two separate occasions before the corrective disclosure on January 27, 2026 revealed Q3 results fell short of projections.

Commvault Systems, Inc. (CVLT) Securities Class Action:
Commvault provides its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications amidst increasing cyber threats and attacks.
The company generates revenues through subscriptions, including Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), and has said that subscription annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) “is the best indicator of the company’s growth.” Accordingly, investors have focused on this key metric, of which SaaS ARR accounts for about 38%.
During the Class Period, Commvault repeatedly touted that its “execution has never been better across the business[,]” said it would “continue to see hyper-growth within [its] SaaS platform[,]” and hyped its ARR growth and accelerated SaaS target achievement “two quarters earlier than planned.”
The primary focus of the litigation is the claim that the company and its management knew but did not disclose how different types of sales would impact ARR growth, that the company increasingly focused on lower-priced SaaS deals and discounting, and created the misleading impression that its ARR would remain steady throughout fiscal 2026.
Investors learned the truth on January 27, 2026 after Commvault reported underwhelming Q3 2026 financial results. Of concern was the significant miss in net new ARR, a reduction in full-year ARR growth guidance, and a dramatic deceleration in SaaS ARR year-over-year growth (down year-over-year from 71% to just 40%).
The primary discrepancy with the company’s earlier growth narrative was its revelation that composition of sales activity (type of sale) mattered – unknown to investors, volumes increasingly came from dramatically lower-priced SaaS deals and heavily discounted long-term contracts, both of which significantly pressured ARR and SaaS ARR.
Along with the market’s swift, negative reaction, several analysts (some of whom reportedly characterized the results as a “mess” and questioned Commvault’s ability to execute) promptly downgraded their Commvault investment and price target ratings.
“We’re investigating the pending claims that Commvault intentionally misled investors about adverse impact on its growth narrative brought about by the change in type of sales revelations,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

What is the class period? April 29, 2025 – January 26, 2026
What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Commvault Systems, Inc. (CVLT) Misled Investors Regarding its Annualized Recurring Revenue Growth
According to the complaint, during the class period defendants created the false impression that Commvault’s annualized recurring revenue (ARR) growth would remain steady throughout fiscal year 2026. Plaintiff alleges that Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company’s ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Commvault’s securities at artificially inflated prices.
Plaintiff then alleges that the truth was revealed on January 27, 2026, when Commvault published third quarter 2026 fiscal results, which included ARR growth below the guidance provided by the Company. Commvault reported ARR growth for the third quarter 2026 was $39 million, which fell short of the $45 million projection provided. On this news, the price of Commvault’s common stock declined from a closing price of $129.36 per share on January 26, 2026, to $89.13 per share on January 27, 2026, a decline of over 31% in a single day.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Commvault's ARR growth environment; pertinently, Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that its ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Commvault securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Commvault class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/commvault-systems-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 17, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Commvault's ARR growth environment; pertinently, Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that its ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Commvault class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/commvault-systems-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Defendants provided investors with misleading guidance and projections regarding CommVault's anticipated annual recurring revenue ("ARR") growth for fiscal year 2026, including projections related to new net ARR growth; Defendants simultaneously disseminated overly positive statements while concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of the Company's ARR growth environment; Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company's ARR growth guidance failed to properly account for critical variables, including the type of sales driving ARR performance; and as a result, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis and were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.What's Next for CommVault Investors?

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Commvault To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you purchased or acquired securities in Commvault between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Commvault Systems, Inc. ("Commvault" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CVLT) and reminds investors of the July 17, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
Defendants provided investors with material information pertaining to Commvault's projected ARR growth for fiscal year 2026. Defendants' statements included, among other things, misleading guidance and projections related to the Company's new net ARR growth. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Commvault's ARR growth environment; pertinently, Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company's ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables, such as the type of sale. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Commvault's securities at artificially inflated prices.
On January 27, 2026, Commvault reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025, including "40% growth in SaaS ARR to $364 million," as noted by the Company's Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO") during the earnings call to discuss these results. Additionally, the CAO said "60% of our deals actually closed in the last few weeks of the quarter." According to Bloomberg Intelligence, "SaaS ARR growth of 40% represents a meaningful deceleration from 56%" reported for the second quarter fiscal 2026.
Following this news, Commvault stock declined over 31% on January 27, 2026.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Commvault's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
To learn more about the Commvault class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/CVLT or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Commvault Systems Securities Class Action Lawsuit:
What is the Commvault Systems securities fraud lawsuit about?
The Commvault Systems securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors by providing materially misleading guidance and projections related to the Company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth while concealing that its ARR growth guidance failed to properly account for crucial variables - such as the type of sale - that significantly affected the Company's true growth trajectory. As the truth emerged on January 27, 2026, when Commvault reported Q3 fiscal 2026 results showing SaaS ARR growth of only 40% - a meaningful deceleration from 56% in the prior quarter - CVLT's stock price fell over 31% in a single day, causing significant losses for investors.
Who may be eligible to participate in the Commvault Systems class action lawsuit?
Investors who purchased or acquired Commvault Systems (CVLT) stock between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026 - the Class Period - and suffered financial losses may be eligible to participate in the Commvault securities class action. Participation as a class member does not require taking any affirmative legal action; eligible investors may recover losses simply by remaining members of the class. Whistleblowers, former Commvault employees, and others with relevant information about the Company's conduct are also encouraged to come forward.
What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment in the Commvault Systems lawsuit?
A lead plaintiff in the Commvault Systems class action is a court-appointed investor - typically the one with the largest financial interest in the case - who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of all class members. Any Commvault investor who purchased CVLT stock during the Class Period may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice. The deadline to seek lead plaintiff appointment is July 17, 2026. Importantly, choosing not to seek the lead plaintiff role does not affect an investor's ability to share in any recovery obtained for the class.
What should investors do if they purchased Commvault Systems stock during the Class Period?
Investors who purchased Commvault Systems (CVLT) stock between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026 and suffered losses should contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP immediately to discuss their legal rights.

Constellation Brands Inc (NYSE:STZ) reports fiscal first-quarter results after the close on June 30, and the setup is bumpy.
UBS is modeling EPS of $3.12, below the Street consensus of $3.24, after cutting estimates to reflect weaker beer demand.
The stock has dropped 11.4% in recent months while the broader consumer staples sector gained 3.6%.
The reversal has been sharp. Beer equivalent units were up 2% in early April, but dollar takeaway and EQ units both finished the quarter in negative territory, down 1.3% and 2% respectively. UBS now forecasts beer depletions down 1% for the quarter versus a Street estimate of positive 0.3%.
Earlier in the year, investors had expected a strong start, with World Cup and US anniversary tailwinds seen as potential demand drivers. That optimism has since faded.
UBS expects Constellation to hold its full-year guidance, which calls for EPS of $11.20 to $11.90 and beer sales in a range of -1% to +1%. The bank sees the guidance as achievable and maintains a Buy rating, though it trimmed its price target to $175 from $186.
At roughly 12.5 times forward earnings, UBS sees the risk/reward tilting positive. But analysts warned that what happens with demand trends over the next few weeks will matter more to the stock than the earnings print itself.

Management plans aggressive brand investment around the tournament, potentially boosting sales volumes and improving visibility into near-term business momentum during fiscal 2027.

Key Takeaways Southwest Gas and Spire are gaining from rising natural gas demand and regulated utility operations.SWX has lower debt-to-capital than SR, while SR posts a higher return on equity than SWX. Both plan major 2026-2030 investments to improve reliability and support rate base growth. The companies in the Zacks Utility - Gas Distribution industry are engaged in the transportation and distribution of natural gas from the region of production to millions of consumers across the United States. Their extensive pipeline and distribution networks ensure a reliable energy supply, while regulated operations provide stable revenue streams and support ongoing infrastructure modernization and system expansion. They enhance shareholders’ value through dividend distribution and buybacks, making them attractive options for defensive investors.
Demand for natural gas is increasing across the United States due to its cleaner-burning characteristics, which help lower carbon emissions compared with other fossil fuels. Its role as a reliable transition fuel is supporting higher consumption and long-term demand growth.
Amid the growing significance of gas distribution, let us discuss Southwest Gas (SWX - Free Report) and Spire (SR - Free Report) , two regulated utilities benefiting from the rise in natural gas demand and major infrastructure development investments, making them comparable in the utility space.
Southwest Gas benefits from its regulated structure, new rates and rise in natural gas demand, supporting its financial performance. SWX gains from ongoing economic development across its service territories, which is attracting new customers and supporting steady demand growth and revenue expansion. The company undertakes systematic capital investment to strengthen infrastructure, supporting rate base growth, enhancing service reliability and driving long-term growth. Supported by a constructive regulatory framework and growing energy demand, Southwest Gas is well-positioned to enhance shareholders' value.
Spire, supported by its regulated framework, benefits from a rate hike and an expanding customer base, supporting stable revenues and earnings growth. The company continues to optimize its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and the divestiture of non-core assets, enhancing operational focus, strengthening financial flexibility and creating attractive long-term growth opportunities. Its strategic capital investments plan supports infrastructure development and system reliability while driving rate base and long-term financial growth. With growing energy demand and a supportive regulatory environment, Spire is poised to generate steady cash flow and enhance shareholder value over the long term.
Southwest Gas and Spire are among the leading gas distribution utilities. Analyzing their fundamentals side by side can reveal which stock presents the most attractive investment opportunity.
SWX and SR’s Earnings Growth ProjectionsThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for SWX’s earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $4.27 in 2026 and $4.85 in 2027, suggesting year-over-year growth of 16.99% and 13.63%, respectively. SWX’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth is currently pinned at 9.89%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SR’s EPS is pegged at $4 in 2026 and $5.51 in 2027, suggesting a year-over-year decline of 9.91% and growth of 37.75%, respectively. SR’s long-term earnings growth is currently pinned at 11.17%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Debt to CapitalThe Zacks Utilities sector is highly capital-intensive, requiring continuous investments to modernize and maintain infrastructure, improve operational efficiency and serve rising energy demand. To fund these long-term projects, utilities rely on a combination of internally generated cash flows and debt raised from capital markets, enabling steady growth and dependable service to customers.
Southwest Gas’ debt-to-capital currently stands at 46.11%, below Spire 69.95% and the industry average of 54.47%. Both companies use debt to fund their business, with SR’s higher ratio indicating greater dependence on borrowed funds.
Return on EquityReturn on Equity (“ROE”) is a key financial metric that measures how efficiently a company utilizes shareholders’ funds to generate returns. A higher ROE reflects strong managerial efficiency in utilizing shareholder funds to create value and drive profit growth.
Spire’s current ROE is 9.49%, outperforming Southwest Gas, which reports a lower ROE of 6.95%. SR uses shareholder capital more efficiently and generates higher returns, though both companies’ returns remain below the industry average of 10.13%.

Capital Investment PlansUtilities operation is capital-intensive, as huge funds are required to develop infrastructure, enhance system reliability and maintain existing assets. Natural gas distribution utilities must continuously invest in pipelines, storage facilities and delivery networks to ensure safe operations, reliable service and compliance with evolving regulatory standards while meeting growing customer demand.
Southwest Gas aims to invest $6.3 billion in 2026-2030, of which nearly 73% is related to SWX and 27% to the Great Basin project. Spire plans to invest $4.8 billion during 2026-2030 to enhance service reliability, support infrastructure development and rate base growth.
Price PerformanceSouthwest Gas' shares have gained 5.8% in the past three months against the Spire 12.9% decline.

Wrapping UpSouthwest Gas and Spire are benefiting from rising natural gas demand, customer growth, rate increases and significant infrastructure investments, enabling them to reliably serve millions of customers across the United States.
Southwest Gas is supported by stronger earnings estimate revisions, a better capital spending program, a lower debt-to-capital ratio and superior stock price performance, make it a more attractive choice in the utility sector.
Based on the above discussion, Southwest Gas currently has an edge over Spire, though both presently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Key Takeaways POST targets a Foodservice adjusted EBITDA run rate of about $125 million per quarter.POST benefits from customer stickiness as value-added products reduce labor and improve consistency.POST leverages Foodservice assets to support growth in refrigerated businesses like Bob Evans. Post Holdings, Inc.’s (POST - Free Report) Foodservice segment continues to be a significant contributor to the company’s portfolio, with management identifying a target adjusted EBITDA run rate of approximately $125 million per quarter. While the company does not provide specific guidance for individual segments, they expect to return to this run rate as market supply and demand remain in balance.
Recent performance benefited from a combination of factors, including the lapping of prior-year HPAI-related supply constraints and periods when costs exceeded pricing, as the business moved toward more balanced market conditions.
The company’s value-added products appear to benefit from strong customer stickiness, particularly among larger operators. Once customers adopt these offerings, they are able to reduce labor requirements while benefiting from greater consistency and food safety, making switching less likely.
Management noted that smaller independent operators may present some risk due to their greater operational flexibility and ability to revert to alternative approaches. However, the company believes that the majority of its customer portfolio exhibits durable retention characteristics.
Furthermore, the Foodservice business provides strategic infrastructure that supports other segments. Specifically, the Michael Foods assets are leveraged to support growth of the Bob Evans refrigerated business. This synergy allows Post Holdings to leverage existing manufacturing capabilities while evaluating opportunities to expand into additional categories. Overall, Post Holdings’ Foodservice segment remains an important contributor to company performance, supported by value-added products, durable customer relationships and operational connections across the broader portfolio.
The Zacks Rundown for POSTThe company’s shares have lost 6.7% in the year-to-date period compared with the industry’s 2.9% decline.

From a valuation standpoint, POST trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 10.97, lower than the industry’s average of 14.14. POST currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Post Holdings (POST - Free Report) Post Holdings, Inc. is a consumer-packaged goods holding company based in Missouri. The company operates across center-of-the-store, refrigerated, foodservice, food ingredient and convenient nutrition categories. It also participates in private brand food. In March 2022, Post Holdings completed the distribution of 80.1% of its interest in BellRing Brands, Inc. to its shareholders.
POST is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. POST has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 4.7% for the current fiscal year.
One analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.33 to $7.57 per share. POST boasts an average earnings surprise of +19.3%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, POST should be on investors' short list.
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Key Takeaways AEO's Aerie revenues rose 34% YoY to $481M, and comparable sales increased 25% in Q1 FY26.AEO cited higher traffic, conversion, basket sizes and apparel comps up 45% for Aerie growth.AEO sees growth runway for Aerie and OFFLINE, with strong demand for matching sets. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.’s (AEO - Free Report) Aerie banner continues to stand out as a major growth engine, benefiting from strong customer engagement, compelling product offerings and effective marketing initiatives. The brand’s focus on comfort, authenticity and lifestyle categories has helped it deepen connections with consumers, enabling it to gain market share in a competitive retail environment. Management remains optimistic about Aerie’s long-term prospects as it continues to broaden brand awareness and strengthen customer loyalty.
In first-quarter fiscal 2026, Aerie delivered another impressive performance, with revenues surging 34% year over year to $481 million and comparable sales rising 25%. On a trailing 12-month basis, the brand surpassed the $2 billion revenue milestone. Strength was broad-based across channels and categories, with Aerie apparel comps jumping 45%, while intimates posted high-single-digit growth. The company noted that higher traffic, better conversion, increased average unit retail and larger basket sizes all contributed to the banner’s exceptional results.
Several strategic initiatives have been driving this outperformance. Aerie’s head-to-toe merchandising approach across apparel, intimates and sleepwear has boosted average order values and encouraged repeat purchases. Marketing efforts, including the 100% Aerie Real campaign featuring Pamela Anderson and the company’s commitment to avoiding AI-generated imagery, have resonated strongly with customers. Additionally, the Aerie Real Makers influencer program exceeded its six-month targets within weeks, helping attract new shoppers while increasing engagement among existing customers.
Looking ahead, management believes Aerie and its OFFLINE activewear business have a significant runway for continued growth. OFFLINE has emerged as an important long-term opportunity, supported by strong demand for matching sets and new fabrications, and has already become the No. 2 legging brand among its core demographic. Although competition remains intense, AEO’s disciplined promotional strategy, continued investments in marketing and strong customer loyalty position Aerie well to sustain its momentum and remain a key contributor to the company’s overall growth.

Key Takeaways Aerie is driving AEO's growth, with Q1 revenues up 34% and comparable sales up 25%.AE brand revenues and comps fell 2% Q1, pressured by women's bottoms and denim.AEO faces tariff headwinds, planned markdowns and higher advertising spend as it works to stabilize AE. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO - Free Report) is running two stories at once. Aerie and OFFLINE are expanding quickly, while the core American Eagle brand is still working through uneven demand.
That mix keeps the stock in focus. Management still expects mid-single-digit comparable sales growth for fiscal 2026 and operating income of $390-$410 million, but execution has to improve.
AEO’s Business Mix Is ChangingAmerican Eagle operates through the AE brand, Aerie by American Eagle and AEO Direct, its online retailing channel. AE sells casual apparel and accessories to younger men and women, while Aerie focuses on lifestyle apparel across stores and aerie.com.
The story is no longer just a mall-apparel narrative. Aerie has become the faster-growing brand, supported by broader categories and digital reach, while AEO Direct gives both brands an e-commerce platform that can deepen customer engagement.
American Eagle Sees Better 2026 ExecutionAEO is investing in digital capabilities, marketing, store remodels and distribution to build a more agile operating base. The West Coast distribution center in Phoenix went live in early May 2026, adding capacity to improve inventory placement and customer service.
Cost control is part of the same plan. The company is winding down third-party fulfillment operations and managing delivery and distribution expenses, which helped buying, occupancy and warehousing costs leverage 150 basis points in the first quarter.
Aerie Gives AEO Its Strongest CatalystAerie remains AEO’s clearest growth driver. First-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues rose 34% year over year to $480.8 million, while comparable sales increased 25%. The brand also surpassed $2 billion in trailing 12-month revenues.
OFFLINE, sleepwear, intimates and apparel innovation are expanding the runway. Aerie apparel comps rose 45% in the quarter, intimates delivered high-single-digit comps and the undies business reached record performance, giving this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company a meaningful offset to AE brand softness.

American Eagle Still Has Real FrictionThe weak spots are visible. AE brand revenues and comps declined 2% in the first quarter, with the main pressure concentrated in women’s bottoms, including denim. Seasonal categories also faced pressure from a colder spring.
Margins and expenses add another layer of risk. The second-quarter outlook includes a $20 million incremental tariff headwind, tariff-related gross margin pressure of 150-200 basis points, planned AE markdowns before back-to-school and mid-teens SG&A growth tied mainly to advertising.
How AEO’s Signals Fit the StoryAEO looks more balanced than cleanly momentum-driven. Aerie’s acceleration, OFFLINE’s runway and planned operating leverage support the bull case, but AE’s women’s business, tariffs, markdowns and higher advertising spend keep the setup from being straightforward.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF - Free Report) offers a relevant comparison as a global omnichannel specialty retailer with youth-oriented apparel brands. Urban Outfitters, Inc. (URBN - Free Report) is another useful reference point because it operates a portfolio that includes Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement and Nuuly.
For AEO, the bottom line is that investors are weighing a real growth engine against real execution risk. The stock’s outlook depends less on a single quarter of Aerie strength and more on whether AE can stabilize as distribution, marketing and inventory initiatives mature.
The Zacks Rank and Zacks Style Scores should be treated as confirmation tools around that operating view. The Zacks Rank is the primary near-term earnings-estimate revision signal, while the Value Score, Growth Score, Momentum Score and VGM Score help frame valuation, growth quality and price-trend characteristics. In general, Zacks Rank #1 and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stocks with Style Scores of A or B offer stronger combinations, while weaker ranks call for caution even when one style reading looks favorable.
American Eagle's valuation discount, Aerie momentum and profit recovery make the stock tempting, but tariffs, ad costs and softer AE trends keep the case balanced.
Key Takeaways AEO is navigating a fiscal 2026 shift as Aerie growth offsets tariff pressure and uneven AE demand.Aerie revenues jumped 34% in Q1, with OFFLINE, sleepwear, intimates and undies fueling demand.Tariffs, markdowns and higher ad spend leave AEO with visible execution risk amid supply-chain changes. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO - Free Report) is showing several specialty apparel trends at once. The company is leaning into brand-led growth at Aerie while working through tariff pressure, higher advertising costs and uneven demand at the American Eagle brand.
The result is a transition story. AEO’s fiscal 2026 outlook depends on stronger execution, sharper inventory flow and whether Aerie can keep offsetting friction elsewhere in the portfolio.
Aerie Shows Where AEO Demand Is MovingAerie is the clearest sign of where AEO demand is shifting. The brand’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues rose 34% year over year to $480.8 million, while comparable sales increased 25%. Aerie also surpassed $2 billion in trailing 12-month revenues.
The growth is not tied to one product line. OFFLINE Activewear continues to gain traction through matching sets, new silhouettes, fresh fabrications and curated drops. Sleepwear is scaling as a long-term top-line engine, while intimates delivered high-single-digit comps and the undies business reached a record performance.
This matters because AEO is expanding wallet share through a broader lifestyle assortment, not only through legacy denim demand. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF - Free Report) and Urban Outfitters, Inc. (URBN - Free Report) both compete in apparel and lifestyle retail, where product newness and brand identity shape demand.

American Eagle Is Reworking Its Supply ChainAEO is changing how product moves through the business. The company is investing in digital capabilities, store remodels and distribution to improve agility and profitability.
The Phoenix West Coast distribution center went live in early May 2026. Management expects the facility to support better inventory placement and customer service, giving shoppers more ways to receive product.
Cost control is part of the same trend. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is winding down third-party fulfillment operations and managing delivery and distribution costs. Buying, occupancy and warehousing expenses leveraged 150 basis points in the first quarter due to higher sales and cost optimization. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Tariffs Are Resetting AEO Margin MathTariffs remain one of the biggest variables in the fiscal 2026 margin story. AEO’s guidance assumes a tariff rate of 10% on second-quarter receipts and 15% for the back half of fiscal 2026.
That pressure is already visible in inventory. Total ending inventory increased 27% at cost in the first quarter, while units rose only 5%. Management attributed the gap mainly to tariffs and the comparison with last year’s inventory write-down.
The second quarter is expected to carry a 150- to 200-basis-point tariff impact on gross margin. AEO is using sourcing, product, marketing and operational levers to offset the pressure, but tariffs still affect promotional choices and key selling periods. Marketing Spend Is Rising Across AEO.
Advertising is becoming a more important operating lever. SG&A expenses increased 11% in the first quarter, led by planned investments in advertising.
The spending pattern differs by brand. Aerie’s marketing is tied closely to its sales growth and customer engagement. The 100% Aerie REAL campaign supported brand visibility and reinforced its positioning around inclusivity and authenticity.
At American Eagle, marketing is aimed more at customer file growth, consideration and conversion. The AE customer file increased 3% year over year to more than 19 million customers, but store conversion still needs improvement.
What AEO’s Signals Say About the TrendThe bottom line is that AEO is participating in real retail growth themes, but the transition is not complete. Aerie and OFFLINE are expanding demand, while supply-chain work and digital investment are intended to support faster, more efficient execution.
At the same time, American Eagle brand revenues and comparable sales declined 2% in the first quarter, with weakness concentrated in women’s bottoms. Planned markdowns, tariff costs and higher advertising expenses leave the stock with visible execution risk.
That mixed setup fits a neutral posture. The Zacks Rank and Style Scores are useful secondary signals for investors tracking the next phase. A stronger Zacks Rank, supported by favorable Value, Growth, Momentum or VGM Scores, would generally add confirmation, while weaker readings would argue for patience.
For now, AEO looks like a trend story still proving itself. Aerie’s momentum is meaningful, but investors may want evidence that tariff pressure, marketing spend and AE brand fixes can translate into more consistent profit leverage.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
One company to watch right now is Ameriprise Financial (AMP - Free Report) . AMP is currently holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 12.26, while its industry has an average P/E of 13.77. Over the last 12 months, AMP's Forward P/E has been as high as 15.63 and as low as 10.72, with a median of 13.43.
AMP is also sporting a PEG ratio of 0.98. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. AMP's industry has an average PEG of 1.01 right now. AMP's PEG has been as high as 1.96 and as low as 0.73, with a median of 1.04, all within the past year.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. AMP has a P/S ratio of 2.22. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 3.
Finally, our model also underscores that AMP has a P/CF ratio of 15.60. This figure highlights a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find firms that are undervalued when considering their impressive cash outlook. This company's current P/CF looks solid when compared to its industry's average P/CF of 34. Within the past 12 months, AMP's P/CF has been as high as 23.08 and as low as 14.74, with a median of 17.06.
These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Ameriprise Financial is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, AMP feels like a great value stock at the moment.
