???? Bullish Takeaways
CIBC reaffirmed its positive thesis after Q2 results, raising its price target to $130 from $125 and highlighting projected revenue growth of 34% for FY26 and 23% for FY27 as support for further upside relative to current levels.
FBN Securities increased its target to $115 from $100, citing strong execution, with Q2 revenue up 51% year over year and about 10% above consensus, subscription ARR growth of 36% year over year, and a marked improvement in NG subscription margin to 9.4%.
Barclays lifted its target to $120 from $115 and kept an Overweight rating, pointing to better net new annual recurring revenue even as Rubrik adjusted its sales incentives, reinforcing confidence in the durability of growth momentum.
Mizuho moved to an Outperform rating from Neutral with a $97 target, adding to a cluster of bullish calls that collectively frame Rubrik as executing well on growth and margins despite a more conservative near term outlook.
???? Bearish Takeaways
While recent Q2 results and ARR trends prompted higher targets from CIBC, FBN Securities, and Barclays, CIBC explicitly noted a conservative Q3 outlook, which, together with Rubrik’s strong share performance, feeds ongoing concerns that a meaningful portion of long term upside may already be reflected in the valuation.
