Price swings send plenty of investors running for the exits. To a trader who spent years making markets on an options floor, those same swings look like the opportunity.

Rubrik is compounding free cash flow rapidly, with a bullish outlook into fiscal 2028 and a compelling valuation at 51x forward FCF. Management recently raised guidance, targeting at least $450 million in free cash flow and ~23% margins next year, reinforcing the investment thesis. Despite a projected deceleration in revenue growth for H2 fiscal 2027, I expect RBRK to sustain 20%+ y/y growth into fiscal 2028.

Rubrik has surged back to $100, fueled by heightened AI-driven cybersecurity demand and robust fundamentals. RBRK posted 38% revenue growth in FQ2 and net ARR of $1.66 billion, with strong partnerships and product innovation targeting AI-related threats. Despite doubling from April lows, RBRK trades at a relatively attractive 11x FY28 revenue, supported by $600 million net cash and $330+ million projected free cash flow.

RBRK boasts an agentic AI cybersecurity platform across the preemptive recovery engine, AI agent governance, and rewinding of destructive agent actions post attack. The vertically integrated SaaS platform drives strong subscription ARR growth (+33% YoY), high NRR (>119%), and expanding margins, supported by flexible licensing models. Despite the rich Rule of 53.4% (revenue growth/FCF margin), RBRK trades at reasonable EV/Sales of 10.27x versus peers, aided by the growing net cash position.

Rubrik stands out as a compelling cybersecurity play amid heightened AI regulation and macro risks. Recent Q2 results were stellar, with RBRK rebounding nearly 2x from YTD lows and continuing its rally. I reiterate my buy rating, emphasizing robust demand as IT leaders prioritize cybersecurity upgrades in response to AI-driven threats.

Increasing agentic actions are creating soaring demand for cybersecurity.
