Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Rubrik's stock extended its strong rally on October 23, reaching a record high as demand for cybersecurity solutions continues to grow amid the ongoing AI boom. Shares of RBRK jumped to $129.60, a 210% gain from their lowest point this year, lifting the company's market capitalization to $26.9 billion.

Rubrik GSI Summit – October 9, 2026 – Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK), the Security and AI Operations Company, today announced the expansion of Project Hourglass, broadening its partner alliance to deliver Rubrik Code Guardian alongside Rubrik Agent Cloud. Rubrik welcomed additional partners AHEAD, Trace3, and WWT into Project Hourglass, joining Cognizant, Deloitte, LTM, HCLTech, NTT DATA, and Wipro.

According to Rubrik Zero Labs, 86% of cybersecurity and IT leaders anticipate that the proliferation of AI agents will outpace their organization's security guardrails within the next year. Rubrik Code Guardian aims to provide partners the capability to proactively red-team client code within air-gapped environments, prioritize realistic attack chains, and maintain instant codebase recovery.

"Engineering teams are turning to AI models to accelerate software delivery, but speed cannot compromise security or architectural integrity," said Alok Agrawal, Chief Solutions Officer, Rubrik. "By incorporating Rubrik Code Guardian into Project Hourglass, we are ensuring engineering teams are able to conduct red-team analysis, prioritize business impact and reduce risk."

Securing Customer Source Code with Rubrik Code Guardian

Rubrik Code Guardian harnesses Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 through a specialized security harness to evaluate code repositories against sophisticated, multi-step threat scenarios. Rather than operating on live production environments, the system tests a cloned, air-gapped copy of customer repositories.

Key capabilities Rubrik aims to deliver to Project Hourglass partners include:

Isolated Red-Team Analysis: Claude Mythos 5 operates inside Rubrik's security harness.Attack Chain Discovery: The engine will reason across files, services, identity roles, and cloud perimeters to uncover chained vulnerabilities that conventional static tools miss.Business Impact Prioritization: To eliminate alert fatigue, findings are verified for actual exploitability and scored by business criticality.Equipping Our Partners with Agentic Cyber Resilience

Project Hourglass originally launched to operationalize Rubrik Agent Cloud for Anthropic's Claude Code, introducing runtime behavioral guardrails, prompt context protection, and Agent Rewind to reverse unintended actions.

By adding Rubrik Code Guardian, Project Hourglass offers an end-to-end security architecture. The program provides participating partners with joint go-to-market resources, dedicated technical certification tracks, and direct engineering access to accelerate client deployments.

AHEAD
“Customers want to adopt AI coding without inheriting AI-speed attack surface. By expanding our Rubrik partnership through Project Hourglass and Code Guardian, AHEAD helps clients close that gap, from architecture through deployment. Code is attacked, tested, and validated in a safe environment before it ships, so teams move faster with confidence, and Rubrik's recovery capabilities remain in place as the safety net.” – Steven Sorensen, Specialty Solutions Engineer, Cyber Resiliency at AHEAD

Trace3
“Our clients are moving quickly to adopt agentic AI, and securing those environments requires a new approach to resilience. At Trace3, we are not only using Rubrik Agent Cloud internally to help protect our own agentic AI initiatives, but we are also bringing that hands-on experience to our clients. Trace3’s Resiliency Practice and AI risk and Governance practice is ready to help clients secure, observe, protect, and recover their agentic AI environments as they scale. That perspective and experience, as both a user and a partner of Rubrik, gives us a unique understanding of what it takes to build more secure and resilient agentic AI environments.” – Sandy Salty, Chief Marketing Officer at Trace3

WWT
“WWT uses our Advanced Technology Center to test and validate innovative security solutions, making isolated threat testing a core part of our DNA. Integrating Rubrik Code Guardian through Project Hourglass perfectly complements this approach. The end-to-end security architecture ensures our clients achieve business resilience as they deploy new AI agents." – Chris Konrad, Vice President of Global Cyber at World Wide Technology

Cybersecurity AI risks There has been a massive debate this week over the safety of modern AI tools. Examples have been growing of the ability to use agents and models from the likes of Anthropic and others to target vulnerabilities for hacking.

This has been a boon to cybersecurity stocks like Rubrik. Rubrik is a defense layer that protects your back-up systems, ensuring your data remains secure in the event of an attack. As cyber risks grow, the theory is that more and more organizations will turn to Rubrik to secure their data.

Its business model is to sell subscriptions that grow in price the more data is protected, a great business model because the amount of data held by enterprises is growing every year. Last quarter, Rubrik's annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 33% year-over-year to $1.66 billion, with gross margins of nearly 80%.

Is Rubrik stock a buy? After going up this week and soaring close to 200% in the last five years, Rubrik stock now looks expensive with a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of 13.7. However, this booming demand for cybersecurity services may lead to durable revenue growth over the next decade, which could bring down Rubrik's valuation rather quickly.

If you are looking for a cyber stock to bet on, Rubrik could be a good pick for your portfolio.

Rubrik's earnings beat came with a twist It's not like Wall Street slept through Rubrik's earnings. Many analysts published bullish forecasts just before the event and the stock reached an all-time peak of $107.91 per share on the day of the report.

And the numbers were impressive. Q2 2027 earnings swung from a $0.03 loss to a $0.20 net profit per share. Revenue rose 41% year-over-year to $427.3 million. The analyst consensus had called for earnings near $0.04 per share on sales in the neighborhood of $396.3 million.

But Rubrik closed the following day 13.1% lower on massive trading volume, creating a distinct spike on the stock chart. The sudden reversal had the signature of profit-taking. A deluge of follow-up analyst reviews was almost universally bullish, and several firms called the price drop a buying opportunity.

After all that, the stock has gained 64.7% in six months as of Sept. 4. The risk-off dip in the spring matched similar downtrends across the data security industry. Rubrik was set up for a rebound at the start of August, and the market action didn't disappoint -- despite the short-lived earnings spike.

The case for Rubrik, and the catch That's a lot of drama, inspired by a mix of business results and broader market vibes. But none of this changes Rubrik's fundamental quality.

People are getting paranoid about cybersecurity, and that's Rubrik's default assumption. Trust no one, assume that your digital defenses have been breached already, prepare to repair the damage. Rubrik can help.

The skeptical message is working wonders. Revenue is growing nearly 38% quarter over quarter, gross margin sits above 80%, and Rubrik looks like a legitimate long-term winner in the cybersecurity market.

There's a catch, though. The stock was exposed to post-earnings price drops due to a lofty and loose valuation. Shares are trading at 12.7 times trailing sales and 68 times free cash flow. Unadjusted earnings are negative over the last four quarters, giving investors fewer tools to estimate the company's true value.

So Rubrik trades near all-time highs and the stock is prone to wild swings. At the same time, its soaring sales and improving margins make the stock a tempting idea for growth investors. Just prepare for a bumpy ride as Rubrik stabilizes its financials.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.8% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Rubrik Inc. (NYSE:RBRK) raised its outlook following strong second-quarter results and accelerating net new subscription growth, while placing artificial intelligence at the center of its cyber resilience strategy.

CEO Bipul Sinha warned during Thursday’s earnings call, “Today AI agents are attacking us. These autonomous agents use AI for vulnerability chaining to find the right malicious combination to intrude, breach and encryption at machine speed.”

• Rubrik shares are sliding. Why is RBRK stock falling?

Q2 Results Beat EstimatesRubrik reported quarterly earnings of 22 cents per share, well above the four-cent analyst consensus estimate.

Quarterly revenue reached $427.26 million, beating the $396.278 million estimate. Subscription revenue increased 37% year over year to $407.2 million from $297 million.

Subscription ARR reached $1.66 billion, up 33%, with approximately $96 million in net new subscription ARR.

AI IntegrationManagement said increasingly autonomous threats are pushing customers toward rapid recovery and resilience rather than relying solely on prevention.

Rubrik Agent Cloud has more than 15 paying customers, with proof-of-concept engagements converting into production deployments.

However, management assumes only a minimal contribution from RAC to the fiscal 2027 ARR as it continues to refine product-market fit.

Growth Remains OrganicManagement clarified that the recent Strata Identity acquisition contributed zero subscription ARR in the quarter and that fiscal 2027 guidance assumes no ARR contribution from Strata.

Subscription revenue rose 37% to $407 million, while subscription net retention remained above 119%. Subscription ARR contribution margin improved about 460 basis points year over year, and free cash flow reached $66 million.

CFO Kiran Choudhary also said hardware costs and supply constraints had no material impact on subscription ARR, as investors tracked separate developments including an earlier institutional stake disclosure.

New Growth Drivers EmergeNon-cloud deployments are becoming another growth driver as governments and regulated industries seek sovereign infrastructure.

Management said the business also carries higher margins because customers self-host the software.
Identity Resilience also remains lightly penetrated across Rubrik’s customer base.

The company closed its largest international identity deal to date during the quarter, helping an existing customer target recovery in hours rather than the previous roughly seven days.

What It Means From HereRubrik raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS outlook to 47 cents-53 cents, above the 31 cent analyst estimate.

The company also lifted its revenue guidance to $1.685 billion-$1.693 billion, topping the $1.65 billion estimate.

RBRK Stock Price Activity: Rubrik stock was down 10.75% to $95.51 at publcation on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

The data security company also raised its full-year outlook, citing demand for cyber resilience products and continued expansion among enterprise customers.

Chief Executive Officer Bipul Sinha said the company delivered its 10th consecutive quarter of outperformance as a public company. Subscription ARR reached $1.66 billion, up 33% year over year, while net new subscription ARR was approximately $96 million. Subscription revenue rose 37% to $407 million, and total revenue increased 38% to $427.3 million.

Rubrik’s Selloff Could Be Cybersecurity’s Hidden OpportunityRubrik reported a subscription net revenue retention rate of more than 119%. The number of customers with at least $100,000 in subscription ARR rose 23% to 3,084, and those customers accounted for 88% of total subscription ARR. Customers generating $1 million or more in subscription ARR increased more than 57%, according to Chief Financial Officer Kiran Choudary.

Profitability and balance sheet On a non-GAAP basis, Rubrik reported an 81% gross margin for the quarter, compared with 81.6% a year earlier. The company said subscription ARR contribution margin for the trailing 12 months ended July 31 was 14%, up from 9.4% a year earlier, representing a 460-basis-point improvement.

Rubrik’s Massive Rebound: Why the Next Leg Higher Could Be FastFree cash flow was $65.7 million, compared with $57.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Choudary attributed the increase primarily to higher sales and improved operating leverage. Rubrik ended the quarter with $1.75 billion in cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with $1.13 billion in convertible debt.

Revenue from the Americas rose 33% to $299 million, while revenue outside the Americas increased 52% to $129 million. The company said total revenue normalized for material rights related to its cloud transformation increased 43% year over year. Material rights contributed about $4.7 million to subscription revenue in the quarter, versus $8.5 million in the preceding quarter.

AI, cyber resilience and product expansion Sinha emphasized the company’s strategy around what it calls “agentic cyber resilience,” arguing that enterprises need faster recovery capabilities as AI agents become more prevalent in cyberattacks and business workflows. Rubrik operates Rubrik Security Cloud, focused on cyber resilience and recovery, and Rubrik Agent Cloud, which is designed to provide security and governance for customers’ AI agents.

The company said it has more than 15 paying Rubrik Agent Cloud customers and is seeing proof-of-concept engagements convert into production deployments. Sinha said the platform includes agent visibility, identity controls, runtime security through its Semantic AI Governance Engine, and Agent Rewind capabilities intended to undo destructive agent actions.

Rubrik also highlighted growth in its Identity Resilience business. The company said the offering addresses identity recovery, misconfigurations, privilege escalation and malicious changes within identity systems. Sinha said adoption remains early across Rubrik’s customer base but described identity as a significant expansion opportunity, with both existing customers and new customers purchasing identity-focused products.

During the quarter, Rubrik introduced Rubrik Flex, a unified contract vehicle intended to let customers buy multiple cyber resilience capabilities through one license and agreement. The company said it has already closed a handful of Flex deals and expects the offering to become its default sales motion for its largest strategic accounts over time.

Outlook raised For the third quarter, Rubrik forecast revenue of $429 million to $431 million, representing 23% reported growth, or 31% growth when normalized for material rights. It expects material rights to contribute approximately $2 million to $3 million of third-quarter revenue. The company projected non-GAAP subscription ARR contribution margin of about 14% and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.09.

For fiscal 2027, Rubrik raised its subscription ARR outlook to $1.88 billion to $1.885 billion, implying approximately 29% year-over-year growth. It forecast full-year revenue of $1.685 billion to $1.693 billion, non-GAAP subscription ARR contribution margin of approximately 15.5%, non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.47 to $0.53, and free cash flow of $323 million to $333 million.

Choudary said the full-year outlook includes approximately $18 million of material-rights revenue, a reduction that will create a headwind to reported revenue growth. He also said the company assumed zero ARR contribution from its acquisition of Strata Identity in both the reported second quarter and its fiscal 2027 guidance.

Management said Rubrik did not see a material impact on subscription ARR from hardware cost increases or supply constraints. While the company sells some hardware in certain regions, it characterized itself primarily as a software company, with growth driven by cloud, self-hosted, SaaS, identity and agent-security offerings.

Foolish takeThe sale of 721 shares appears routine, as Wassenaar still holds more than 3,900 shares. That sale is not a signal that anything is wrong with the company, especially as it has been performing particularly well recently. In June, when it reported its fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings, it said revenue climbed 39% to $387.1 million. It’s expecting its second quarter to be even better, forecasting sales between $395 million and $397 million.

In addition, as more news breaks of AI agents hacking into other businesses, more companies may become interested in beefing up their cybersecurity and turn to Rubrik for solutions. It offers agentic solutions through its Rubrik Agent Cloud, which monitors agents, sets up guardrails, and mitigates damage. 

Rubrik is currently pushing up against its 52-week high of $99.95, highlighting renewed interested around cybersecurity stocks. It will report its 2027 second-quarter results on Aug. 27, and a good report could provide further fuel for the rally.

Jack Delaney has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Rubrik. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Cybersecurity company Rubrik (RBRK +8.70%) was a standout on the stock market on Monday. Investors piled into its equity, sending the shares up nearly 9% on the day. The company benefited from a general rally in cybersecurity titles, as well as an analyst's rather bullish move before the market open that morning.

AI advancement isn't necessarily positive The rally stems from reactions to the annual (and influential) Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference that concluded late last week. One of the themes of the conference was the growing threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI) agents, which, in the wrong hands, could be highly effective at causing chaos and damage across the cyber world.

Since sector stocks are the first, and often only, line of defense against such efforts, several analysts raised their price targets on top names in the industry after the conference.

This trend enveloped Rubrik on Monday, with BTIG's Gray Powell enacting quite a hefty price target raise to $109 per share from his previous $91. He maintained his buy recommendation on the shares while making the move. According to reports, he cited those mounting AI concerns as a chief reason for his change.

The smaller, the better? While it's always good to be cautious about a largely indiscriminate sectorwide rally, such as the one we're experiencing now with cybersecurity titles, this feels like an instance where that's justified. In such an environment, I'd say it's wise to seek out somewhat less well-known but still successful stocks for inclusion in portfolios. In my view, Rubrik certainly qualifies.
