Nebius Group Shares on the Rise with Support from Citron Research

On Monday, Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) experienced a notable increase in its stock price following positive remarks from Citron Research. The investment firm expressed its optimistic stance towards Nebius Group on social media, highlighting the company’s potential in the artificial intelligence sector and its current undervaluation compared to its competitor, CoreWeave. According to InvestingPro, investors seeking detailed valuation measures and comprehensive analyses can access the Pro Research Report, which offers expert insights on over 1,400 U.S. stocks.

Citron Research's tweet emphasized a strong belief in Nebius Group’s prospects, stating, "Citron insists that $NBIS is ready to be the next Wall Street darling of AI. A sleeping giant not yet covered by analysts, the market has yet to recognize its tremendous potential – or its undervaluation compared to CoreWeave." They suggested that if Nebius Group were to trade at a 50% discount to CoreWeave's multiple, the stock could be valued at $60.

The tweet also praised Nebius Group’s CEO, Arkady Volozh, as a "real talent" and noted that the strategic investment by Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was not a snap decision but the result of a decade-long acquaintance with Nebius Group. InvestingPro data shows that NVDA exhibits impressive financial metrics, including a perfect Piotroski Score of 9 and an eye-catching 152% revenue growth over the past twelve months. Citron Research further described the company's strong financial condition as a "fortress-like balance sheet."

Following Citron Research's tweet, Nebius Group's shares surged, reaching an intraday high of 9.6%. This price movement emphasizes the impact that support from prominent investment research firms can have on market perception and investor sentiment.
