Goldman Lowers Rubrik Inc. (RBRK) Target but Reiterates Buy Rating

Rubrik Inc. (NYSE:RBRK) is among the best machine learning stocks to buy according to analysts. On February 9, Goldman Sachs cut its price target on Rubrik by one-third to $80 from $120 while maintaining a Buy rating amid broader volatility across AI-related stocks, according to The Fly.

In its research note, Goldman Sachs highlighted a key point: the rapid pace of AI innovation. The firm cited developments such as Claude Cowork and OpenAI’s Frontier as evidence of the pace of change across the ecosystem. With this, the firm cautions investors against overreliance on any single narrative or view as the AI stack continues to evolve.

Goldman’s analysis also suggests that much of its coverage universe, including Rubrik, operates in comparatively insulated parts of the technology stack. As a result, the firm sees selective opportunities for investors who are willing to look beyond near-term volatility.

Rubrik Inc.’s (NYSE:RBRK) share price has already seen a substantial correction, with a YTD decline of 26%. Price targets have also moved lower over the past month, as analysts factored in lower valuation multiples and the impact from competitive concerns.

That said, analysts have maintained their positive ratings on the stock, and as of February 10, the majority of the analysts (96%) rate the stock as Buy, with a consensus 1-year median price target of $108.5, implying a robust 94% upside.
