It depends on the structure of the bailout. Bank bailouts in financial crisis did not zero out equity holders.
There seems to be an interesting misconception floating around that bailout => equity holders don't lose their investments. In the GFC, there were companies that got bailed out (GM, Chrysler) and after that failed, the Gov't (US and CA) wound up owning them. Equity went to 0.

Never mind, I misread your original post. Yes, bailout doesn’t guarantee it doesn’t still go bankrupt
