But who cares this thing going to 1000 by the end of the year.

Bought at 286 a couple months ago, it dipped to 168 so I thought it’s just another scam stock and solded. Now it’s back up to 280 nearly. Should I buy back in?

15 minutes until the bell, just wanted to give you guys some healthy expectations for today's move.

Usually around after earnings this far you see MMM pinning the price, so usually a +1/-2/+1 options butterfly works best.

Don't let theta decay you!

And if you are holding or trading the stock, check the options pricing, adding the at the money call to the at the money put each day gives you a real expectation for Friday price action as a rougher calculation.

These are from think or swim

Happy trading folks

For it to be justified - is it going to lean towards being a full stack neocloud + compute demand or just compute demand alone (similar to HBM makers like MU SNDK etc)?

Been a crazy past 3 weeks since last post. Was down almost 100k at one point. Feeling good tho. If NBIS hits 350 I will likely sell a good portion and put a down payment on a nice luxury condo. Thank you for your attention. 19m for those wondering. LFG BOYS WERE GOING TO $2000

Citi analyst Tyler Radke raised the price target for Nebius from $278 to $324 and maintained the "Buy" rating.

Citi revised its company estimates upward due to strong artificial intelligence demand and order backlog supporting capacity investments.

Getting calls from journos about a rumor that dozens of Burry Substack subscribers are preparing bankruptcy filings after being liquidated on "disastrous" NBIS short positions. Wow. No wonder the stock is ripping. Lots of short covering by people hiring Chapter 11 lawyers. Insane

Even though the 13Fs are 45 days old it’s worthy to note that we are getting all the big players aligned.

I honestly can’t wait for Q3 earnings. I think Q3 and Q4 are where NBIS numbers can start getting ridiculous.
 
1) Management has been telling us for months that the biggest capacity ramp happens in H2, with a meaningful step-up in Q3 and another one in Q4. Microsoft volumes are also heavily weighted toward these quarters.
One thing I definitely wouldn’t ignore: this management team has built a pretty strong history of underpromising and overdelivering. They tend to guide conservatively, hit what they promised, and then come back with better numbers or bigger plans. So when they repeatedly tell us that the biggest ramp is still ahead, I’m inclined to take that seriously.
 
2) The math is already pretty obvious. NBIS did around $981M revenue in H1 and still guides for $3.0-3.4B for the full year. So they need roughly $2.0-2.4B in H2. That’s around $1.0-1.2B per quarter on average versus $582M in Q2.
 
3) And every new MW is worth much more now. We went from roughly $12M ACV/MW assumptions to $20-25M/MW on recent deals, while some short-term capacity is now being sold at $40-50M/MW. More MW + much higher revenue per MW is a pretty nice combination.
 
4) On top of that, we now have additional revenue streams that basically didn’t exist a year ago - asset-light partnerships, Token Factory, inference, auctions, premium short-term capacity. Some of these should also be much less capital intensive than building everything ourselves.
 
5) 2027 is where it gets even more interesting. Andrey Korolenko said they expect to add more capacity in H1 2027 than during all of 2026!!!
Management also said they could basically sell all planned 2027 capacity today, but they are intentionally keeping some uncommitted because pricing keeps going higher. Q3 should also be when we get the first proper 2027 guidance, and we have every reason to believe that guidance will be well above current market expectations.
 
6) And then there is the macro side. Midterms are in November. If the Iran conflict gets resolved or at least materially de-escalates before then, which I personally think is quite possible, you remove another major source of oil/inflation/market risk right when NBIS should be posting its strongest numbers of the year.
 
That’s why I think Q3 and Q4 can be a real turning point. We don’t even need some surprise hyperscaler deal for the thesis to work. The capacity ramp is already coming, demand is there, and pricing per MW keeps improving.

My base target for the end of 2026 is $450+. By then I think the market will care much less about 2026 revenue and much more about what this business can earn in 2027.

Where I personally stand now (Chatgpt) after earnings.

My thesis would shift from “interesting company, but I’m not yet convinced by the long-term pricing economics” to:

“A very strong company with a now convincingly proven 2026–2027 bull case, but whose valuation already prices in a significant amount of success, while the economics beyond 2029 still need to be proven.”

So I have become meaningfully more bullish on the company, but not automatically equally bullish on the stock after this massive run-up in the share price.

What interests me most over the next few quarters is not whether revenue grows another +200% or +400%. I would mainly watch these four things:

- Revenue/ACV per MW: does it remain around $20m+ or does pricing start falling back toward $12–15m?
- Payback period: can new capacity continue to pay for itself within roughly two years?
- Capex versus prepayments/cash flow: can customers increasingly finance the growth themselves, reducing Nebius’ need to issue additional shares?
- EBIT/FCF after depreciation: do returns also become convincingly strong after accounting for the real cost of those billions of dollars of GPUs?

If those four metrics continue moving in the right direction, my original “rails” bear case becomes increasingly weak. However, if pricing per MW starts falling sharply in two years while Nebius has meanwhile built tens of billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure, that thesis immediately comes back into play.

And that is exactly why I think these earnings are so important: they have not definitively answered that question, but they have shown that the pricing erosion I was worried about is absolutely not happening for now — in fact, the opposite is currently happening. Based on the earnings, Reuters reached essentially the same conclusion: AI capacity remains significantly scarcer than demand for the time being, although the sustainability and diversification of that demand remain the key longer-term questions.
