On August 25, Rubrik Inc. declined 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $93.12 per share, with turnover of approximately $114 million. The drop came one day ahead of the company's scheduled fiscal Q2 earnings release on August 27.
The pullback appears driven by profit-taking ahead of earnings, as the stock had approached several analysts' prior price targets following a series of upgrades. Truist recently raised its target from $90 to $135, Oppenheimer lifted its target to $120, and the FactSet consensus mean target stood at $104.30 with a buy rating. With the stock nearing earlier target levels, short-term profit-taking pressure intensified amid uncertainty over whether Rubrik Inc. can sustain its streak of earnings beats.
Fundamentally, the company reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $387.1 million, up 39% year over year, with subscription ARR growing to $1.57 billion. Full-year revenue guidance was raised to $1.64-$1.65 billion, above market expectations. However, the upcoming quarter's consensus EPS estimate of -$0.34 suggests profitability remains under scrutiny.
