CVLTCommvault Systems, Inc.
Is the business good?
The checks split: earnings fully cash-backed (5.1×) and margins widening, but returns that lean on debt.
Mixed fundamental signals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is improving vs a year ago.
Operating profit is falling even as sales grow, costs are outrunning the top line.
Leverage-amplified, a high assets-to-equity ratio does much of the work. ROE 288% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
