  • Nutanix is back at early-2024 price levels after a brutal 40% drop since September.

  • However, technical pressure is easing as momentum stabilizes from deeply oversold conditions.

  • Analysts remain broadly bullish, arguing the sell-off reflects timing issues more than anything else.

Shares of Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX) closed just under $48 last week, continuing to extend what’s turning into a frustrating end to the year for investors. The software company is down about 40% from its September highs and more than 20% over the past three weeks alone.

While it could be argued that Nutanix never fully found its footing in 2025, the most recent drop followed an earnings report that spooked rather than calmed the market and accelerated selling pressure. Although the pullback had some justification, the setup for the final weeks of the year offers a favorable risk/reward balance.

The latest sell-off was triggered by Nutanix’s late November earnings report, which delivered a combination that investors are never going to be excited about: a revenue miss and a reduction to forward guidance. At first glance, that’s always going to result in fresh selling pressure, no matter how much the stock has already dropped.
