This William Blair $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ ARR forecast of $71.7B is just below my absolute base case of $72.8B I laid out in August.
My bull case has an ARR ~30% higher than this at $93.6B.
This is where the valuation starts to get quite exciting:
-> EBITDA margins will end up closer to 60% so we'll have an EBITDA forecast of $56.2B.
-> A base case EBITDA multiple of ~16x (on 152% CAGR) gives us a $900B EV (extreme as doesn't model in CapEx).
-> Use an EBIT approach with 30% margins which gives us $28.1B in EBIT.
-> A base case EBIT multiple in the 20-24x range gives us $617B EV.
Either way... I think we end up +$500B EV by 2030.
Granted we'll have to deal with some chop along the way.
