Rackspace Technology (NASDAQ: RXT) is a cloud computing company that helps businesses manage their data and applications. The company is currently facing a federal securities class action lawsuit. As highlighted by PR Newswire, the lawsuit alleges that Rackspace Technology and its senior executives misled investors about its artificial intelligence (AI) efforts and their effect on financial performance.
This legal action follows a significant 33.6% drop in Rackspace Technology's stock price on July 9, 2026. Despite this, the company reported its financial results on August 11, 2026. It posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.08. EPS shows how much profit a company makes for each share of its stock, and a negative number indicates a loss.
This loss per share was slightly better than the analyst consensus estimate of -$0.09. The company's unprofitability is also reflected in its negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -7.32. A negative P/E ratio occurs when a company has negative earnings, confirming it was not profitable over the past year.
Rackspace Technology also posted revenue of $646 million, which was in line with expectations. The company's price-to-sales ratio is 0.44. This ratio compares the company's stock price to its revenues. A ratio under one can sometimes suggest a stock is undervalued based on its sales alone.
However, other metrics point to financial risks. Rackspace Technology has a negative debt-to-equity ratio of -0.37, which happens when a company's total liabilities are greater than its shareholder equity. Its current ratio of 0.76 also suggests the company may have trouble paying its short-term debts.
