Market cap
Rubrik, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its Altman Z-score is -2.6, placing it in the Distress zone. 4 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.
What the filings flag
-25%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -25% and rising from -277% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+76.6%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +230% over the last 3 years to FY2026 (+76.6%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~76.6% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2023 has been diluted ~230%.
25% of revStock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 25% of revenue and 130% of free cash flow in FY2026 — about $1.68 per diluted share. Heavy — a large slice of 'free cash flow' is really being paid out in stock, so the true owner cash per share is well below the headline.
stoppedShareholder returns — halted.Capital returns have STOPPED — $6,000 of buybacks + dividends in FY2023, but ~$0 in FY2025. A halt usually means the company is conserving cash; understand why before reading it as neutral.
