Company snapshot

Rubrik offers enterprise data protection, unstructured data protection, cloud and SaaS data protection, data threat analytics, security posture management, and cyber recovery solutions.

The company serves a diverse client base across financial, healthcare, technology, public sector, and other industries worldwide.

It is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with approximately 3,200 employees.

Rubrik specializes in data security and protection solutions, with a focus on safeguarding critical information for large organizations. Its integrated platform addresses a broad range of data security needs for enterprise clients.

Foolish take

Cyber resilience leader, Rubrik, debuted on the markets in the middle of 2024 and has already seen its stock rise over 160%.

It looks like Hamilton Lane Advisors enjoyed most of this ride up and cashed out on their winning selection. With Rubrik's price-to-sales ratio rising from 7 to 15 in just one year, there's no denying the promising cybersecurity stock is now home to a lofty valuation.

To put this 15 times sales figure in perspective, if we assume Rubrik will mature to 20% net income margins, it would still be trading at 75 times earnings at today's share price.

However, Rubrik just grew revenue by 51% in its latest quarter, while seeing its existing customers grow their spending with the company by more than 20%.

Already integrated with the preventative cybersecurity behemoths of Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Okta, and Google's Mandiant, Rubrik might quickly grow into its lofty valuation.
