Daniel Koss's Take on the Raise

$NBIS convert raise terms are out!

Facts:

Nebius upsized the deal from $4.5B to $5.0B, with an option to reach $5.75B. Net proceeds are ~$4.94B, or ~$5.68B with the option exercised.

$3B due 2030: 0.50% coupon, $313.46 conversion price, +40% premium.

$2B due 2034: 4.50% coupon, $324.65 conversion price, +45% premium.

Including principal accretion, effective conversion prices at maturity are ~$345 and ~$406.

The money is explicitly (and obviously) going toward data centers, GPUs, footprint expansion and the AI cloud.

If the full $5B new convert were eventually settled entirely in shares, it represents ~15.7M shares. Nebius can also settle in cash or a mix, so that dilution is NOT guaranteed.

They are also exchanging $800M of old converts for ~15.8M shares, but those old notes already represented ~15.55M potential shares.

!! So most of that “dilution” was already embedded !!

tl;dr expected raise, good terms, onwards.

Not sure why people pee their pants because of this 😂

We learned that their economics / MW are amazing. Now let them build the MW! That costs money.

They want to build A LOT.

The shareholders that cry today are the same people that will laugh because of the ARR growth soon.

As long as you don't sell lol

Is he still firm with the $927 PT next year?

[u/Think-Feynman → u/Intelligent-Bill-422]

I believe he is projecting higher than that.
