BLK Nebius: Meta Fears Create A Buying Opportunity
Nebius Group (NBIS) remains a strong buy, with a $333 price target for 2028 and 72% upside potential despite recent share price volatility. NBIS faces macro headwinds, elevated interest rates, and competitive risks from Meta's excess compute capacity, but robust AI infrastructure growth continues.

My model estimates these drivers can increase revenue from about $14 billion in 2026 to roughly $18.3 billion by 2028 and lift split-adjusted EPS to about $5.3.
