Nutanix (NTNX) Faces Leadership Changes, Is The Stock Still Cheap?
Nutanix (NTNX) has become a focus after a pair of leadership changes, with long serving director Craig Conway choosing not to seek re-election and former President and Chief Commercial Officer Tarkan Maner shifting into a one year advisory role.
Recent trading shows that Nutanix shares have cooled off in the short run, with a 7 day share price return down 8.88% and a 30 day share price return down 3.21%. At the same time, the 90 day share price return of 24.67% and 3 year total shareholder return of 88.93% point to momentum that has built over a longer stretch and now intersects with investor reactions to these leadership changes.
