Don't Miss Buying Nebius Before The 2026 Sentiment Acceleration — Positive

NBIS   Seeking Alpha — May 20, 2025

Nebius Group N.V. delivered stellar Q1 growth (385% YoY), driven by GPU cloud adoption, showing powerful margin leverage—exactly the scale-driven story investors should seek in hyper-growth AI infrastructure. Aggressive yet thoughtful North American expansion, strategic Toloka funding, and cutting-edge Nvidia tech position Nebius to quickly challenge hyperscale incumbents—making this a rare entry point. My $60 price target (50% upside) for NBIS anticipates EBITDA breakeven in 2026, supported by strong cash reserves, disciplined cost management, and significant incremental gross margin potential beyond 60%.
