Concentrated NBIS bull rejects neocloud depreciation and demand bears

The author holds 60,000 NBIS shares, initially hedged around earnings, and remains highly concentrated after a strong quarter. Their distinctive view is that durable legacy-GPU contracts, capacity scarcity, pricing, and financing refute neocloud depreciation bears. Late-week conviction intensified as they raised NBIS scenarios above $300 and called earlier forecasts too conservative.

Direction this week

NBIS conviction intensified after earnings: the author maintained a 60,000-share position, dismissed the bear case, and raised upside scenarios above $300. No adds, trims, or exits were disclosed; exposure remained heavily concentrated in NBIS, creating clear pump and concentration risk despite the pre-earnings put hedge.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
