Anthropic’s $120bn Deal Is 6% of SpaceX and 2.2x Nebius, So We’d Rather Own Nebius

SpaceX is the best-capitalised neocloud we cover, and the dearest: at $1.97tn the market pays about $1.4tn, or 46x annualised revenue, for its AI segment. We initiate on four neoclouds: Underweight SpaceX (PT $90), Overweight Nebius (PT $207) and IREN (PT $37), and reiterate Underweight CoreWeave (PT $44).
