Wall Street stays bullish on Nebius

On May 13, financial services firm D.A. Davidson published an updated analysis on Nebius and reiterated a buy rating on the stock. The investment firm also raised its one-year price target on the stock from $200 per share to $250 per share. Even though the stock has continued to run higher since D.A. Davidson's note, the investment firm's price target still suggests additional upside of roughly 19%.

On May 15, Citi published its own updated coverage on Nebius. The investment firm maintained a buy rating on the stock, set a one-year price target of $287 per share, and said that demand for the company's technologies was strengthening amid rising prices for graphics processing units (GPUs). Citi's one-year price target currently suggests additional upside potential of roughly 37%.

The stock is valued at roughly $54.5 billion and trading at approximately 16 times this year's expected earnings, so some significant growth is already priced in. On the other hand, the business managed to increase revenue 684% year over year last quarter -- and it's possible that time will show the stock was significantly undervalued at today's prices.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
