DeepSeek's efficiency has led to a sell-off in AI stocks, but I believe the market's reaction to Nebius Group is overly negative. Despite DeepSeek's lower training costs, the AI data center market will still face a significant shortfall, benefiting Nebius AI in the long term. Three scenarios are considered: market growth slows, accelerates, or DeepSeek's costs are higher than claimed. Nebius AI benefits in all cases.
Nebius is poised to capitalize on the AI megatrend, leveraging unique engineering strengths and Nvidia's backing, making it an attractive investment. The recent 37% sell-off likely increased institutional holdings, potentially stabilizing Nebius's share price and reducing volatility. DeepSeek's efficiencies will drive AI costs lower, increasing demand for computing power, benefiting Nebius's data center growth.
Nebius Group N.V. is a strong buy, rebounding after a 40% drop, and poised to benefit from the AI revolution despite the DeepSeek selloff. Nebius offers full-stack AI solutions with top-tier performance and has significant stakes in AI-related businesses, enhancing its valuation potential. The financial outlook is promising with projected AI revenues up to $700 million by 2025, and a strong cash position with no debt.
The recent sell-off in Nebius Group N.V.'s stock presents a golden buying opportunity due to its undervaluation and growth potential. Nebius specializes in full-stack AI infrastructure, serving both large tech firms and SMBs, positioning it as a key player in the AI industry. The company plans to expand its GPU capacity significantly and diversify into AI data management, edtech, and autonomous driving, targeting massive TAMs.
In my previous column about Nebius Group, I arrived at a valuation of Nebius Group of $8.8 billion, or $37.5 per share. In this column, I conducted a detailed analysis of the robotaxi market in the U.S., as well as Avride's prospects within it, to determine the fair value of Avride. Based on my analysis, Avride could claim the 2nd or 3rd position in the U.S. robotaxi market.
Nebius Group N.V. is an $8-billion market cap tech company offering total infrastructure for the global AI market. I believe Nebius will expand its capacity and operations by leaps and bounds driven by its top-notch tech solutions, ambitious plans, and support from major IT giants like Nvidia. I also like to see Arkady Volozh being the firm's founder and CEO - his past success in Yandex (Russia's biggest IT firm) should add tremendous value to NBIS investors.
Nebius shows massive growth potential with a 766% revenue increase in Q3 2024, driven by its AI infrastructure business. Despite being unprofitable, Nebius has $2.28 billion in cash reserves and virtually no debt, ensuring liquidity for growth. Expansion plans include significant investments in AI infrastructure across Europe and North America, with new GPU clusters in Paris, Finland, and Texas.
Nebius offers high-capacity AI-optimized data centers with significant cost advantages, Nvidia partnership, and a skilled engineering team, making it a compelling investment despite risks. The company has ambitious growth plans, projecting ARR of $750 million to $1 billion by end-2025, driven by substantial capex and Nvidia's support. Nebius faces competition from hyperscalers and other specialized vendors, but its efficiency in power usage, heat dissipation, and space provides differentiation.

Generally speaking, when businesses generate excess profits, they may choose to invest in areas such as research and development (R&D), bolster marketing budgets, or increase hiring efforts in certain departments. However, from time to time, a company may invest in other businesses and acquire a small equity stake.
Many stocks performed well in 2024, but none better than those powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The technology fueled the bull market this year, with a few dozen stocks powering the S&P 500 (^GSPC -1.11%) to a roughly 27.5% gain (as of Dec. 26).
