$NBIS ARR this year will be 50% hyperscaler deals, 50% own AI Cloud. This is by choice. Hyperscaler demand is "infinite". Their own AI Cloud is however where they'll make more profits from sustainable, recurring, high margin revenue long term.

@daniel_koss Did the company indicate this 50/50 mix for this year, Daniel? Or is this your projection?

@daniel_koss "Definitely not going to bring a ton of clients with her. No chance people still talk to each other after switching companies, that never happens." Cause people break their non-solicitation agreements all the time? Great hire nonetheless, but why add this kind of childish crap?

Kristy Brackett, a Senior Sales Leader with 12+ years of experience at AWS joins $NBIS ! Definitely not going to bring a ton of clients with her. No chance people still talk to each other after switching companies, that never happens. Sidenote: it's very clear that Nebius is getting more aggressive when it comes to hiring, selling and marketing into SF. They're going for the heart :D

While I have a position in $NBIS, and I think it's the highest quality in this space, I have been puzzled why $CRWV hasn't been getting more love. Is it that the market pref dilution over debt by that much? Or is it looking very far ahead to where the neocloud that Nebius This building is a key differentiator, which I think will absolutely matter in 4 or 5 years? Or is there something else I'm missing? Either way, I might be shifting from Nebius to Coreweave soon.

@danroberts0101 So why issue PR written like an acquisition that stresses a transaction?

Excited to welcome Chris and the Awaken team to IREN. From IREN's perspective, this was a unique opportunity to bring a proven marketing team in-house, structured as a talent acquisition with no transaction consideration outside of standard employment agreements. Looking forward to continuing to build a brand that matches the scale of what we are creating - one that supports customer growth, community relationships and the social licence that matters as we continue to expand into new markets.
IREN@IREN_Ltd

IREN has acquired Awaken, a creative and media agency specializing in content strategy and brand development for high-growth companies. Senior members of the team will join IREN, including Founder and CEO Chris Parker, who will lead IREN's brand and marketing strategy. Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of IREN, commented: “As we expand across new geographies and customer segments, brand awareness and customer engagement become increasingly important. Chris and the Awaken team have been trusted partners to IREN for some time, and bringing those capabilities in-house was a natural next step as the platform continues to scale."

@mcuban The Nvidia tax, power scarcity, and capital costs are already pushing big AI to be as efficient as possible with token generation. I can't really argue with 3 & 4.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@MichaelWigginsO @kuchmd And doubling down on a falsehood doesn't make it a fact. It's just lazy. Q4 call guidance was "between $3 billion and $3.4 billion in revenue". Love this BTW: "And with that, there's a lot of emotion. I get it. But the facts, even if they are inconvenient, are still the facts."

Previously, the estimates for $NBIS were for $3.8B to $4B this year. Now, it's a nudge lower than this. It's clearly NOT a raise on FY 2026. I recognise that $NBIS is a stock that I own and happens to be the hottest stock in the market. And with that, there's a lot of emotion. I get it. But the facts, even if they are inconvenient, are still the facts.

$NBIS I raise my price target on $NBIS to $300 by the end of 2027. While Nebius slightly lowered its near-term revenue outlook, I believe investors will look at the bigger picture: this business is already demonstrating extraordinary cash flow generation at a very early stage of its growth cycle. Generating more than $2 billion of cash inflows while still scaling aggressively strongly reinforces my conviction that Nebius could become a highly self-sustaining AI infrastructure platform by 2027. That said, investors should absolutely expect meaningful volatility ahead. Nebius’ capital requirements remain enormous, and management will likely continue diluting shareholders as it raises additional capital to fund its ambitious capex plans. This will create tremendous volatility in the near-term, just as it has throughout 2026. And yet, I believe that investors are underestimating both the scale of AI infrastructure demand as well as Nebius’ ability to monetize that demand. Read more:

@MichaelWigginsO $NBIS What are you talking about? Near term lowered revenue outlook? They expect decrease in cloud revenue in 2026 Q2 but maintain 40% growth for the year- not overall rev. Also, they are well capitalized with several options to avoid dilution. MUTE.

@InvestNorthwise @CKCapitalxx 100% - I closed my $KEEL holding after seeing Iren's inability to close additional bare metal deals. $KEEL is just starting the journey. Not saying there isn't money to be made but it's just getting started.

This is like comparing multiples of $NVDA and $CAT because they both work with data centers. It’s highly misleading. $CRWV and $NBIS are the closest comps at the very high end of the stack offering software on top of GPUs (extremely different companies). $IREN at the moment is primarily bare metal, maybe tries to move up the stack with acquisitions. $CIFR runs leasing and managed hosting. Not even in the same universe of multiples. This is like comparing a REIT to a SaaS company. $KEEL is closest to $CIFR but three years earlier with no proven ai HPC execution and a lot less diverse portfolio. Trying to compare all of these as the same thing is wrong. We are not trying to be rude, but it’s incredibly misleading. Keel is not a gpu business and should not trade like one.

$KEEL investors this is incredibly false information and should not be used as financial advice. As we have stated, comparing $KEEL multiples to $CRWV $IREN and $CIFR is straight up incorrect. These names are expected to make 8-15m per connected live MW. $KEEL, like $CIFR, is attempting to provide managed hosting and is not playing the same part of the stack as the neoclouds. This part of the stack generates closer to 1m per connected MW. (Notice how $CIFR isn’t mentioned in the comparisons?) The multiple conversations are not comparable, are not in the same hemisphere, and nor should they be. Owning the entire stack is much riskier, much more capex intensive, and more complex. Pretending that $keel should trade at the same multiples as $NBIS with a different business model, $500 million in liquidity, and a completely undeveloped pipeline and is downright dangerous and misleading. $KEEL is a very exciting opportunity, but it’s no longer cheap, and it’s not supposed to trade like $NBIS $IREN and $CRWV In our BASE case, which we see as more than fair, $KEEL will have less than a GW connected through 2030. This isn’t bearish it’s a fact of how long permitting, connections, and cleanups for these sites take. Be careful out there, congratulations to investors who saw the value like we did at $2 and don’t get caught chasing on misinformation.

@KeithDKnowles Because MSFT and Meta make up most of its ARR Guidance of $7-9B for 2026. Although they will miss and reach somewhere between $4.5-5.5B

I just realized… How is it that $NBIS & $CRWV havent signed a deal with software yet? only bare-metal… Yet $IREN is already in talks with customers to bring on their own software, most likely a AI Native customer. Is $IREN getting the better deals at the table but they havent announced them yet? Who would have know… Not the IREN community 👀 Somebody look out for the software engineers job postings

No that's not true, most of their ARR Guidance comes from their Hyperscaler contracts which is bare-metal. Now the point in my post clearly says why haven't they signed a contract with software yet? The AI Cloud is specifically navigated towards Natives/Enterprises. "retail" 😂 (This it not contracts) If you can spell out to me any KPI Metrics for their software or disclose how much they made from software I will be suprised.
