#cybersecuritysoftware company Rubrik, which has Microsoft among its notable investors, hopes to raise up to $713 million in its IPO. Palo Alto Networks, California-based Rubrik intends to offer 23 million shares at a price between $28 and $31 a share. The source stated that the conversations are private. The source went on to say that Rubrik's valuation would be roughly $5.4 billion at the upper end of the spectrum and warned that the company's plans are susceptible to change based on #market conditions. Rubrik's intention to go public coincides with the early indications that the U.S. IPO market is recovering from the #stockmarket debuts that were suspended for the majority of 2022 and 2023. In the wake of social media giant Reddit, Inc. and semiconductor connectivity company Astera Labs successful stock market flotations, a number of companies, including Cato Networks and Synechron, have begun making plans to go public. Venture investor Bipul Sinha founded Rubrik in 2014; the company produces cloud-based data backup and ransomware security software. The company provides services to over 5,000 business clients, such as Home Depot and Nvidia Corp. According to its IPO filing, Rubrik's yearly recurring revenue from subscriptions increased by 47% at the end of January over the same period last year. Rubrik stated in its initial public offering (IPO) filing that it is assisting with the ongoing inquiry. The principal underwriters for Rubrik's IPO are Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. The company intends to list its shares under the ticker RBRK on the New York Stock Exchange.
