Volatility in enterprise software stocks, along with cautious sentiments regarding IT spending, has led to a decline in stock prices over the past year. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has declined 9.3%. It had reached a 52-week low of $71.84 in April, but has bounced back and is now up 56.6% from that level. Based on better-than-expected results, NetApp’s shares have gained 20.4% over the past six months.
