NBIS ▼ -1.3% - Nebius Group N.V. $NBIS Truist We are initiating coverage of Nebius with a Buy rating and $355 PT. We view Nebius as an opportunity to invest in a scaling AI-native hyperscaler still building out its infrastructure. We believe consensus forecasts for 2027E ARR are conservative given recent pricing ($20-25M/MW for 1-3 year deals, $40-50M/MW for shorter-duration) and are modeling 2027E ARR well above consensus. We see significant opportunity ahead for Nebius and estimate a $2.1T annual revenue opportunity at the cloud layer by 2030E. We see scarcity and contract economics supporting upside to pricing and revenue, and we see multiple paths to reaching 20-30% adj. EBIT margins over the medium term. Nebius fell 1.3% despite Truist initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a $355 price target, suggesting the stock's current valuation may already reflect bullish expectations around the AI-native hyperscaler's infrastructure expansion and pricing power. Truist models 2027 annual recurring revenue well above consensus and sees a substantial $2.1 trillion cloud market opportunity by 2030, with potential for contract economics to support 20-30% adjusted EBIT margins. 09-SEP-2026 04:05 PM ET
