Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Commvault Systems, Inc. is a publicly traded enterprise software company that provides data protection, data management, and cyber resilience solutions. The company operates within the enterprise software, cloud computing, and cybersecurity industries, focusing on helping organizations protect, recover, and manage data across on‑premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Its offerings are primarily sold to large enterprises, mid-sized businesses, and public sector organizations with complex IT infrastructures.
The company’s core revenue drivers are subscription-based software licenses and recurring maintenance and support services centered on its Commvault Cloud platform. Commvault differentiates itself through unified data protection across heterogeneous environments, deep integration with major public cloud providers, and a strong emphasis on ransomware detection and recovery. Founded in 1996 as a development group within Bell Labs, Commvault was incorporated as an independent company in 1998 and went public in 2006. Over time, it evolved from traditional backup software into a cloud-delivered cyber resilience platform.
Business Operations
Commvault generates revenue primarily through its Subscription Software segment, which includes software licenses delivered via term-based subscriptions, and its Support and Services segment, which provides maintenance, professional services, and customer support. The company’s flagship Commvault Cloud platform integrates backup, recovery, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, and data management across physical, virtual, and cloud workloads.
Operations are global, with sales conducted through a combination of direct sales, channel partners, and strategic alliances. Commvault maintains technology integrations and partnerships with major cloud and infrastructure providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Oracle, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and NetApp. The company operates through wholly owned subsidiaries in key international markets to support sales, customer service, and technical operations.
Strategic Position & Investments
Commvault’s strategy centers on transitioning customers from perpetual licenses to subscription and SaaS-based offerings, expanding cyber resilience capabilities, and deepening integration with hyperscale cloud platforms. Growth initiatives emphasize ransomware recovery, cloud-native data protection, and automated disaster recovery, areas driven by regulatory pressure and increasing cyber threats.
The company has pursued selective acquisitions to enhance technology capabilities rather than large-scale consolidation. Notable acquisitions include Appranix, which strengthened application recovery and resilience for cloud-native environments, and Hedvig, which added software-defined storage and Kubernetes data management expertise. Commvault continues to invest in artificial intelligence–driven threat detection, clean-room recovery, and security-focused data governance as emerging areas within its platform.

International revenue represents a substantial portion of total sales, supported by regional offices and subsidiaries in countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, India, Australia, and Japan.
