• Negative Sentiment: Valuation remains the central concern. With a premium sales multiple and expectations for extremely rapid growth, any delay in data-center construction, weaker pricing or slower customer adoption could make the stock vulnerable to a pullback. High capital needs also create potential dilution and financing risk.
• Negative Sentiment: Michael Burry has criticized the economics of AI infrastructure and flagged Nebius’s contract pricing as a warning sign.
